802 Smiles

The Harwood Union Unified School District shares a dental hygienist as part of Vermont’s 802 Smiles program. The goal of this program is help ensure that every child has access to preventive, restorative and continuous care in a dental office.

This program can assist families who currently do not have a dentist to find a dental home for their child or children.  In addition, the 802 Smiles program provides a free dental screening to these children upon request.
