Our Dental service has commenced at the school and already a good number of our students have accessed this free service. It is not too late to register students to access this dental service. See the information below and register online.
The Smile Squad team from Link Health and Community are now at our school.

Standard strength toothpaste
Smile Squad provides standard strength fluoride toothpaste that is generally used by ages six and over, unless recommended by a dental or trained health professional.
If your child is under six, please talk to a dental or trained health professional to find out if your child might benefit from using this toothpaste. You can also choose to put the toothpaste away until they turn six or give it to someone else in your family to use.
Do I need to attend my child’s appointment?
No, you do not need to attend your child’s appointment. You can attend if you would like to, and you can take your child to the community dental clinic if you prefer.
The Link Health and Community Smile Squad team look forward to seeing you soon.
