Region One/Botelle
Brooker Memorial is thrilled to bring essential preventive dental care directly to students in grades K-8 at Region One and Botelle elementary schools! Through this in-school program, we provide dental cleanings, caries risk assessments, fluoride treatments, and sealants—all at no cost to families, regardless of insurance status.
This program is made possible through a partnership with participating schools, The Foundation for Community Health in Sharon, and Brooker Memorial. A registered dental hygienist from Brooker Memorial’s Pediatric Dental Center will visit each school, ensuring children receive the care they need right on campus, without the challenges of scheduling or transportation.

What to Expect
During school hours, our registered dental hygienist will provide preventive care, including cleanings, fluoride applications, and sealants. If sealants are needed, a follow-up visit will be scheduled. Should further treatment be recommended, we’ll send you a detailed report with guidance on next steps.
Even if your child already sees a family dentist, they are welcome to participate! We know that balancing schedules can be challenging, so we’re here to make preventive dental care easier for you and your family.
Educational Program
To make the experience even more enjoyable, all K-8 teachers receive a fun, educational presentation to share with students. This interactive session helps familiarize children with the program and makes meeting the hygienist an exciting event.
