DENTAL SCREENING AT FERN IN APRIL 2009
Toronto Public Health (T.P.H.) provides dental programs to children from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8.
To identify children with oral health problems, a screening program is offered to students in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Health requirements for mandatory health programs. The screening is an assessment by a dental hygienist using sterilized instruments. The dental hygienist will assess the need for topical fluoride, scaling, sealant and any other obvious dental needs.
As a follow-up to the screening, only parents whose children are identified as requiring dental services will be notified. A note to that effect will be sent home with your child/ren for your information and action. You may also receive a phone call from T.P.H. dental staff to assist you in accessing care.
Please be advised that this screening assessment does not replace the dental examination done by a licensed dentist.
The scheduled dates for dental screening at Fern Avenue Public School are: April 27, 28, 29 and 30th. Only students that wish to participate will be screened.
Should you require more information, please contact Toronto Public Health, Dental & Oral Health Services at 416-328-4220.
