The Illinois Department of Public Health is urging parents and caregivers that now is a good time to schedule dental exams for children. Illinois law requires school children entering Kindergarten, 2nd and 6th grades have a dental exam before the start of the school year.
The IDPH will be providing free dental screenings during weekdays at the Illinois State Fair from 10am to 3pm in the Department’s Wellness on Wheels mobile health van. The vehicle will be located in Happy Hollow, next to the Illinois Building on the Fairgrounds.
