The Mobile Dentist is Coming
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Great news! Our school has partnered with Smile Programs…the mobile dentists to offer in-school dental care on February 8, 2021 and February 11, 2021. A paper registration form was sent home last week with your child to sign up or you can sign your child up to see the dentist at www.myschooldentist.com. Please complete the registration As Soon As Possible and return the paper copy to school.
The dental care is usually at no cost to you. All insurance is accepted including Medicaid and CHIP. For those without insurance, a low cost self-pay option is available.
Convenient and comfortable
The in-school dental program saves you time and provides a safe and comfortable place for your child to receive gentle dental care from licensed local professionals.
Dental care includes a complete dental exam, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride and sealants when necessary, and in some cases, restorative care such as fillings.
Dental care for a healthy life
Children who see a dentist regularly may have fewer health issues like:
- Early tooth loss caused by dental decay
- Gum disease
- Heart disease
- Impaired speech development
Help keep your child healthy, in school and learning.
Simply go to www.myschooldentist.com for more information.
Please contact the school with any questions.
