Notes from the Nurse
Northwoods Dental Seal-A-Smile program will be at MJ1 Schools on November 13-14 to offer dental sealants to all 2nd and 6th graders. A dental sealant is a thin plastic coating that covers the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars), where most decay occurs. Northwoods Dental sets up a portable dental clinic at school so children can receive an oral health exam, dental sealants (if necessary), dental supplies and oral health education. You should have received a letter and permission form (click here), which we are still accepting here in the front office. Or, you can click here to sign your child up.
