Dental Van
The Australian Dental Health Victoria van will again visit Ceres PS in Week 6 of Term 2. The program is voluntary but offers students the chance to have a dental check-up while at school.
The dental van will provide free oral health examinations and follow-up treatment when necessary to all students where appropriate consent is provided. This includes teeth cleaning, fluoride applications, fillings and any other non-cosmetic, follow-up treatments. Parents will be given a report overview of their oral health after the visit.
Students will have already come home with consent forms. If you do not wish for your child to participate, there is no need to return the form. Consent forms are due back Friday 4th April.
