Children's Dental Services (CDS) will be coming to Redwood Valley Elementary
We are excited to announce that Children’s Dental Services (CDS) will be visiting our school on February 17 and 18 to provide convenient, on-site dental care for our students.
Services Offered: CDS provides comprehensive care, including exams, X-rays, cleanings, sealants, fillings, and even crowns or extractions.
Payment & Insurance:
They accept Medical Assistance (MA) and private dental insurance.
A sliding fee scale is available for those without insurance.
Please note: The school coordinates the visit, but all billing and clinical services are handled directly by Children’s Dental Services.
How to Sign Up: Only students with a signed and completed consent form can be seen. If you haven't filled one out this school year and would like your child to participate, please contact the Health Office for a form.
Important Note on Scheduling: We have received a high volume of interest this year! Because our time is limited to two days, we will be prioritizing students with urgent dental needs first. If your child is not seen during this visit, we will do our best to include them in a future session later this school year.
