Prep - Year 2 Dental Visit

A Dental Professional and Dental Assistant from Carrington Health will be visiting St John's Primary School for an Oral Health Visit on Friday 26 November. This date has been rescheduled but we are happy that we can still offer this valuable service.

If you wish for your child to participate in the dental screening program, please complete the consent form below and return to the organisation’s facilitator before the date above. 

What will happen during the dental visits?

A Dental professional will attend your child’s Primary School to carry out a range of preventive services including:

• Oral Health Advice around healthy eating, drinking and correct tooth brushing techniques
• Oral Health Dental Check to assist in familiarising them with dental checks
• Fluoride Varnish Application* to prevent and arrest early signs of dental decay if indicated and if parental consent gained

How much does it cost?

Participation is voluntary and of no cost to the families and school. An information pack will be sent home with each participating child, including a report outlining what has been found during the screening. Please note that these dental check do not replace a professional dental examination at a dental clinic and we encourage you to continue with regular dental examinations.

Kind Regards,

Vivian HuangOral Health Therapist - Carrington Health
