Oral Health Screening

Oral Health Screening

The dental team will be visiting the school to carry out the Ministry of Health (MOH) Oral Screening Program in grades JK, SK, 2 and 7 on April 7th and 8th, 2025.

To carry out the dental screening, a Registered Dental Hygienist will use a separate sterilized mirror to look in the mouth of each child. It takes about 30 seconds per child.

Please send a note to the school if:

· You have a child in other grades that you would like to be seen, or,

· If you want your child excluded from the dental screening

Your child will be sent home with a sealed brochure marked confidential with their dental screening results. Public Health Services offers dental programs and preventive services for children who need financial assistance.
