Mobile Dental Unit

Family Health Care has a new mobile dental unit that will begin visiting Moorhead schools in October. Students, with the permission of parents, can have dental exams conveniently during school hours.

Family Health Care accepts private insurance and state insurance. If a family does not have insurance, they offer a sliding scale to provide affordable dental exams.


If the dentist recommends a treatment plan, parents will be contacted.

Would you like your child to have a dental exam?


Step 1: Complete a consent form and return to the main office or email it to healthservices@moorheadschools.org. Your permission form is required for your child to participate. A form did go home with each student in September, but please call the school health office if you need another one (218-284-4310).


Step 2: Moorhead Area Public Schools Health Services team will coordinate your childs’ dental appointment with Family Health Care during school hours.


Step 3: Mobile unit will provide a comprehensive dental exam to include cleaning, fluoride treatment and x-rays as necessary. Further dental care will be recommended by the Family Health Care dentist as needed. A treatment plan will be sent home to be signed prior to further treatment.
