Seal a Smile Program

The Seal a Smile Program is a component of the Healthy Smiles for Wisconsin Initiative. The mission of the Seal a Smile program is to prevent dental decay and promote oral health as part of a child’s total health by increasing the number of dental sealants on our their teeth through community-based sealant promotion initiatives.

The Seal a Smile initiative has three primary goals:

  1. Sealant Placement – To have annual community-based sealant promotion initiatives in every county of the state (all children are eligible to receive sealants);

  2. Sealant Education – To provide education and information about sealants and oral health: and

  3. Partnerships – To strengthen state and local partnerships between oral health, education, and youth health advocates to improve the oral health of children in Wisconsin.
