MOULTRIE — The mobile dental clinic for children will be rolling into town again soon.

Forms that enable children to receive care at 14 different Colquitt County schools will be delivered to children Monday. Parents of all patients, even existing ones, must fill out and sign a new form and return it to Help a Child Smile by Feb. 2 in order for children to receive dental care.

Help A Child Smile is a mobile dental program that offers comprehensive dentistry from state-licensed dentists to children who have limited or no access to oral health care. Of new patients, more than 50 percent have never been treated by a dentist. Help A Child Smile accepts most insurance, including Amerigroup, Peachstate, Wellcare, PeachCare for Kids and Medicaid.

Founded by Dr. Mark Shurett and his associates in 1993 after 14 years of family practice, Help A Child Smile, unlike many mobile dental programs, provides comprehensive dental care including x-rays, fluoride treatment, sealants, comprehensive exams and cavity treatment using composite materials.

Help A Child Smile is dentistry made fun, representatives said. Children are never restrained or given sedatives during treatment.

“We are so happy that we can offer dentistry to children who have never had the opportunity to receive dental care before,” Shurett said.

The mobile offices that will visit Colquitt County schools are equipped identically to the offices of Shurett’s family practice in Conyers. Each full service dental office is staffed with one licensed dentist, one registered hygienist, two assistants, one mobile manager and one X-ray technician.
