More than 70 children from Caln Elementary School participated in a Coatesville Area School District Dental Sealant program at the Chester County Community Dental Center in the Brandywine Center, Coatesville. The program is co-sponsored by the Chester County Health Department. The department secured a state grant to provide dental sealants and exams for children in schools, such as Caln Elementary, with a significant enrollment in the subsidized lunch program. Each child began the educational experience in a special room where they practiced tooth-brushing and flossing on dental puppets.
