Seals-On-Wheels Oral Health Program

The Program Director and Registered Dental Hygienist, Nikki L. Frisch, began working in the mobile dentistry industry in 2011 when it was under the name Teeth for Life. In 2012, Seals-On-Wheels Oral Health Program was established, and they are now beginning their 9th year visiting schools across Southern Wisconsin (see Participating Schools). Nikki also works at several Madison area pediatric dental offices as a substitute hygienist throughout the school year and during summer break.

Tashina Kroll (Registered Dental Hygienist) joined Seals-On-Wheels in the fall of 2016 and spent the past 4 years in mobile dentristry. With her help, the program was able to expand its service to additional school districts and provide free dental service to more children. Tashina will still be assisting this year on select visits.

Tashina started her career as a dental assistant before deciding to further her education and become a dental hygienist. She graduated from Madison College in 2016 earning an Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene.

Tashina has a passion for educating patients and helping them gain confidence by having a great smile.

In 2018, Seals-On-Wheels proudly welcomed Bev Hornischer (Dental Assistant), Tanya Kok (Registered Dental Hygienist), and Trina Simonson (Registered Dental Hygienist). Previously working under the Columbia County Health Department, Bev, Tanya, and Trina provided dental services to 17 schools in Columbia County. These schools continued receiving the same services in 2018-19, but through the Seals-On-Wheels Oral Health Program.
