Back-to-School Immunizations and Dental Sealants
Give your child a healthy start to the school year!
Back-to-school immunizations and dental sealants are two of the best ways to keep your child healthy, confident, and ready to succeed this school year. As summer ends, families are busy buying school supplies and getting new clothes, but don’t forget about your child’s health checklist. A quick visit to your healthcare provider can ensure your child is fully protected and smiling bright on the first day of school.
At Celebrating Life Community Health Center, we make it easy for families to get back-to-school immunizations and dental sealants in one place. Our friendly medical and dental teams are here to keep your child safe from preventable illnesses and cavities, so they can focus on learning and having fun.
🩺 Why Are Back-to-School Immunizations So Important?
Vaccines help your child’s immune system fight off diseases like measles, chickenpox, and whooping cough—serious illnesses that can easily spread at school. Many schools require certain vaccines for enrollment, and being up to date helps protect not only your child but also teachers, classmates, and family members.
Common vaccines for school-age children include:
-
DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis)
-
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
-
Varicella (Chickenpox)
-
Polio
-
Annual flu vaccine
Not sure which shots your child needs? Our team can check their vaccine record and make sure they’re caught up before the school year starts.
😁 What Are Dental Sealants and Why Do Kids Need Them?
Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood health problems—but it’s preventable. Dental sealants are thin, clear coatings that are applied to the back teeth (molars) to protect them from food and bacteria that cause cavities. They act as a shield, keeping teeth healthy and strong.
Sealants are especially helpful for children who are still learning how to brush and floss properly. Applying sealants is:
-
Quick – The process takes just a few minutes.
-
Painless – No shots or drilling.
-
Long-lasting – They can protect teeth for years with good oral hygiene.
Pairing dental sealants with regular check-ups and cleanings is a simple way to give your child a healthy smile all year long.
📝 Back-to-School Health Checklist
Before the first day of school, make sure your child is ready by:
-
Getting all required back-to-school immunizations.

Scheduling a dental check-up and dental sealants if needed.
-
Packing a healthy lunch and water bottle.
-
Visiting the eye doctor for a vision screening.
By checking these off your list, you’re setting your child up for a strong and healthy school year.
