Yukon Pre-School Dental Program
Dental Health Starts at Birth.
Yukon’s Pre-School Dental Program is for children, newborn to five years of age. It is recommended that your child visit a dental therapist or dentist before their first birthday.
On your child's first visit, they will receive a dental health basket full of information and dental health items to help keep their mouth and body happy and healthy. Each pre-schooler will receive an oral health passport booklet personalized with a photo at each visit to the dental therapist. The booklet provides age-appropriate information and tips on how to keep children’s mouths and teeth healthy.
