Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment Program (KOHA)
Michigan’s Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment Program
Early detection and treatment of dental problems can help children succeed in school. That’s why the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services created the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment Program (KOHA). Children getting ready to enter kindergarten in Michigan are eligible to receive this FREE service provided by local health departments. KOHA is a new program that is similar to Michigan’s hearing and vision screening programs. KOHA will eventually spread to all areas of the state. KOHA is operating in select Michigan counties in the 2023-2024 school year.
