SMILE SQUAD
Smile Squad is on the way to our school!
All children deserve a healthy smile, and the Echuca Regional Health Smile Squad team is coming to Echuca East Primary School to help make sure this happens.
Smile Squad is a Victorian Government program that provides free dental care to all Victorian government primary and secondary school students.
The friendly Smile Squad dental team will visit Echuca East Primary School soon to conduct a free annual dental health examination for every student and provide free follow up treatment as needed.
What do you need to do?
We need your consent before we can provide services. Consent is usually provided by a parent or guardian

The Smile Squad team will check the student's teeth and mouth and show them how to keep their teeth healthy and strong. They will also provide any preventive services you have consented for. If the student needs more treatment, the Smile Squad will discuss this and seek consent.
Please complete and submit the consent form by Friday 13th September 2024
Paper copies of the consent form are available. Please contact the school office if you would like to request one.
Do I need to attend my child's appointment?
No, you do not need to attend your child's appointment.
