DENTAL EXAMINATIONS
Each child must have three dental examinations:
• Upon initial entrance to school
• Third grade
• Seventh grade
These grades were selected because they represent critical periods of
growth and development in a child's life. It is recommended that your
family dentist perform these examinations since he/she can give a more
thorough examination and best evaluate your child's dental health. If
the school nurse in the building where your child attends school has not
received the completed form by September, your child will be scheduled
for a dental exam by the school dental hygienist.
