SEAL Minnesota, 2018: MNPH Data Access

SEAL Minnesota is Minnesota’s school sealant program. The Minnesota Department of Health’s Oral Health Program administers the program, providing competitive awards to licensed oral health providers that deliver dental sealants to children enrolled in Minnesota public schools.

This map shows all elementary and middle public schools in the state and identifies schools that are high need based on their location in a Dental Health Professional Shortage Area (Dental HPSA) or rural community, or student eligibility for free/reduced price lunch (a measure of the concentration of low-income households in a school environment). This map also shows all elementary and middle schools served by current SEAL Minnesota grantees. The map identifies school age children’s access to oral health services including dental sealants, and unmet need in elementary and middle public schools.

School districts change over time and may be eliminated, added, or combined.
Schools in this dataset do not include: non-public and charter schools, schools not enrolled in the National School Meal Program, or special schools and programs (e.g. online schools, special education, deaf and blind schools, area learning programs, juvenile detention and corrections programs, and hospital programs for mental health and chemical treatment).
