Dental Requirements
The state of Pennsylvania requires that students receive a dental exam upon:
Upon Entering school--Kindergarten or First Grade
Entering Third Grade
Entering Seventh Grade
This exam must be completed within one year before the start of school.
Your family dentist can best evaluate your student's teeth, provide a more extensive examination, and assist you in determining any necessary treatment or correction. Parents are encouraged to schedule appointments with their family dentist. The form entitled, Family Dentist Report, is used when your child is seen by your family dentist for a regular check-up. Upon completion of this exam, please return the form to your child's school nurse.
If you do not have a dentist, a school dental screening done by the school dental hygienist will be necessary to meet state requirements. In this case, please sign the permission slip authorizing the school dental hygienist to conduct the screening. In addition to the screening service, the dental hygienist can provide a professional dental cleaning. If you are interested in this service, please print up and signify this on the permission form below and return the slip to your child's school nurse.
