CMOHS and Tufts University
Together, CMOHS and Tufts provides
full service, comprehensive care to children in head
starts throughout the state. The Tufts hygienists bring
an extra component of creative oral hygiene education
sessions, including puppet shows and story telling prior
to the dental visit, increasing the children's comfort
level with the dentist.

CMOHS has been very proud and
excited to be able to join with the Vineyard SMILES
program and to send our dentists out to Martha's
Vineyard several times per month to see the children
in their schools. They are able to receive
comprehensive services from us where otherwise they
have no or little access to dental care on the
island.
