Your child's school is offering preventative oral health care services. Extended Care Services are being held at schools during the 2024-25 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.
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 Permit hygienists will be coming to provide dental cleanings, fluoride varnish, and sealants.
If you would like to sign your child up for Extended Care Services (cleaning, fluoride varnish, and sealants*) please complete this online form.
* 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.
**If your child already sees a dentist regularly & you do not wish to switch, do not complete this form**
Preventive services: GraceMed Health Clinic is providing in-school dental care including dental exams, x-rays as needed, cleanings, sealants, silver diamine fluoride and fluoride varnish. All children are invited to participate in the program, but the program has a special focus on those children not receiving services elsewhere. No child will be denied services based on insurance status or ability to pay. However, insurance (if available) will be billed.
Restorative services (fillings & extractions of infected baby teeth): Not same day of preventive services. There is no out-of-pocket cost if you have KanCare/Medicaid or private insurance. All claims will be filed with your insurance. If uninsured, you must qualify for the free/reduced lunch program and an upfront cost of $60 per filling/extraction will apply on day of service.
