Big Smiles Dental Programs will be bringing a mobile dentist to Great Beginnings on March 30 and April 13. This visit will include an exam, cleaning, x-rays as needed, fluoride treatment and sealants as needed. It may also include fillings if required. Medicaid and CHIP will cover 100% of treatment. If your child does not have dental insurance, there is a reduced cost of $40 (ages 12 and younger) for the cleaning, screening and fluoride treatment. There is a small additional cost for x-rays. ($15-$21) If you would like to apply for donated care, please contact your school nurse at (816)-986-2462. If you would like your child to see the dentist on one of these days, please fill out and return the form that came home with your student.

Notes from the Health Room
Great Beginnings as well as the entire Lees Summit community have seen an increase in cases of pink eye. Symptoms of pink eye are redness, itching, pain and drainage from the eye(s). Pink eye is spread by touching secretions from the eyes, nose, mouth or surfaces that have come into contact with these secretions. The best ways to prevent pink eye are to use good hand washing, cover with a tissue or elbow when sneezing, avoid touching the eyes and face, and do not share anything that touches the eyes including towels and washcloths. If your child has pink eye symptoms, please take him or her to your healthcare provider and stay home from school until he/she has been treated for 24 hours and there is no more drainage from the eye. If symptoms include sensitivity to light and continual weeping from the eye, please see your eye care specialist. For any questions, please call your school nurse Alicia Stremick, RN at 816-986-2462.
