  • Your child’s school is offering preventative oral health care services. Dental Screenings and Extended Care Services are being held at schools during the 2025-26 school year. You will receive a notification in the future when a date has been set.

    School screening and extended care services DO NOT take the place of a dental exam or include x-rays. Please continue to see your dentist regularly.

    Screenings

    All students in Wichita Public Schools will receive a dental screening unless they have given a completed dental card to the school nurse stating that they have received a recent dental exam. If your child already receives routine care every six months, please notify the school nurse and continue to see your dentist for regular cleanings and check-ups!

    If your child is referred to a dentist for an exam, please call your school nurse if you need help with making a dental appointment.

    Extended Care Services
    Extended Care Permit hygienists will be coming to provide dental cleanings, fluoride varnish, and sealants. No x-rays, exam, or restorative services such as fillings or tooth removal will be provided.

    If you would like to sign your child up for Extended Care Services (cleaning, fluoride varnish, and sealants*) please fill out the back side of this form and return it to the school nurse as soon as possible.

    *Sealants are thin plastic-like coatings placed in the pits and grooves of permanent molars to reduce risk of getting a cavity. A properly sealed tooth is up to 50 percent less likely to develop a cavity in the future.

    If dental services are provided for your child in the school, you will receive a report stating what services your child received. On occasion, a Wichita State University senior dental hygiene student may accompany and assist usdental event.
