Launch the media gallery 1 playerA dental program to help stop cavities is FREE for you and your child through Nebraska Office of Oral Health and Dentistry, and Northeast Nebraska Public Health Department (NNHD). The purpose of the program is to help you and your family have a health mouth.
Your child will be able to visit with a Dental Hygienist, who will...
- Talk with your child about good brushing habits.
- Screen your child's mouth for any problems
- Put a flouride varnish on your child's teeth to prevent tooth decay
- Provide sealants, if needed, to protect your child's teeth from decay.
The flouride will be used 2-3 times during this school year. A note will be sent home if any problems are found during the screening.
This screening and flouride given to your child's teeth DOES NOT take the place of a regular dental visit by your family Dentist. Even if your family already sees the dentist regularly, this program can help to improve your oral health even more.
To have this free screening done, you must give consent. Click HERE to print the form.
Please bring the completed form back to school and turn into your teacher or the office.
