The Henry and Stark County Health Departments, along with their First Choice Healthcare Clinics in Kewanee, Colona, and Toulon, are now offering fluoride teeth varnishing appointments for children. Fluoride varnish is an effective treatment to help prevent tooth decay, especially in children between the ages of 3 and 6. Applying fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and can slow or stop the progression of cavities. Since many young children may not visit a dentist regularly, trained clinic staff are providing these services locally. Parents are encouraged to call their nearest clinic to schedule an appointment and help support their child’s dental health.
The First Choice Healthcare Clinics are offering fluoride varnishing appointments at their locations in Kewanee, 110 N. Burr Blvd. 309-852-5272; Colona, 103 1st St. 309-792-4011; and Toulon, 120 E. Court St. 309-852-3115. For more information, visit www.henrystarkhealth.com or find them on Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter).
