Mobile Dentist is Coming
Back!
The Mobile Dentist program is a
great opportunity for your son(s)
and/or daughter(s) to be seen by
a dentist while at school! Every
child should be seen by a dentist
twice a year. If you choose to
participate your child will have
their teeth cleaned, x-rays taken,
sealants placed (as needed) and
will be examined by a dentist.
The Mobile Dentist program
accepts most forms of insurance
including Medicaid, if you do not
have insurance there is a grant
program your child could qualify
for. Permission forms were sent
home on Monday, April 30th.
Please review the permission
forms, complete if interested and
return by Monday, May 7th.
Please contact Taya Griffith, the
school nurse at 614-833-2011, if
you have any questions.
