Preschoolers, and students in grades K-6, 7th and 10th graders will take part in dental screenings with Central Community College on site at the school on Tuesday, April 9th. Dental screenings are a state requirement for grades K-4, 7th and 10th grade, but we have elected to screen all of our preschool and elementary students.
If you would like your child to receive any of the following services, the permission form linked
HERE must be signed and returned:
Fluoride Varnish- A protective coating will be applied to the teeth to help strengthen and protect them from cavities.
Dental Sealants (if needed) - A white plastic material will be applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent cavities.
Silver Fluoride (if needed) - An antibiotic liquid used on cavities to help stop tooth decay. The affected decay will stain dark.
The permission form is being sent home this week with students and can be returned to the school nurses prior to April 9th. Questions? Please contact Hailey Gehle at hailey.gehle@deshlerdragons.org.
