Migrant Education and the Superintendent of Public Instruction in the state of Washington have brought several agencies together to provide low cost dental services to migrant children. The program, initiated in 1980 and serving 138 children that year, has focused on the provision of preventative and emergency services. Migrant Education has worked with the Yakima Valley College Dental Hygiene Program and the University of Washington Dental School to initiate a joint effort so the staff and facilities of those two schools are available for migrant children. Yakima Valley College contracts to take the migrant children for examinations, prophylaxis, fluoride, cleaning, and minor restorative work throughout the school year. University of Washington dental stuents perform more complete restorative dentistry. Where ongoing restorative work is required, the children are referred to local dentists or to health clinics. The program descriptions, forms, and processes described in this manual are an outcome of the pilot effort. The manual includes the priorities established for dental services to migrant children, the definitions of dental services, the descriptions of the two pilot programs, and the procedures and related forms developed for the pilot program.
