Welcome to www.schooldentist.com, a web site to inform kids, parents and educators about Michigan’s very own School Dentist, Dr. Melanie Sheils-Vergeldt. The School Dentist offers portable, preventative dentistry brought straight to kids in their own comfortable and convenient school environment.

For educators interested in bringing our program to your school, we provided some answers to frequently asked questions and some testimonials from school staff and our very special patients, the kids themselves.

Our site also contains some critical answers to parents about why preventative dentistry is important to the health and future of your child. Dental cavities are increasing due to the modern diet. Thousands of children cannot eat, sleep or pay attention in school due to severe dental disease. More than 60 percent of children will not see a dentist this year because of the barrier formed by limited access to dental care. The school dentist addresses all of these issues by coming straight to the kids.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us and we will be happy to help.

Take a look at comments from the kids below or visit our testimonials page for recommendations from our schools!
