- Oct 21, 2025 · Iron Mountain Public SchoolsSmiles on Wheels is Coming to North Elementary
We’re excited to share that Smiles on Wheels will be visiting North Elementary next week to provide optional dental services right here at school! This wonderful program helps make it easy and convenient for families to ensure their child’s smile stays healthy and bright.
If you’d like your child to receive dental services, please return the permission form that was sent home as soon as possible. Smiles on Wheels offers cleanings, sealants, and other preventive care in a friendly and familiar setting. No need to schedule an extra appointment outside of school! Please note: Dental services will be billed to your dental insurance if available.
It’s also important to note that all Kindergarten (not Early Kindergarten) students will receive a free dental screening as part of Michigan’s state health requirements. These screenings are provided at no cost to families through a partnership between the Health Department and the Smiles on Wheels organization.
We’re grateful for programs like this that help keep our students healthy and smiling every day.
