Kansas State Statute 72‐6251 requires all students enrolled in Kansas schools to receive a free dental screening each year. In accordance with this, GraceMed will be providing this service at your school.
Oral health is an important part of children’s overall health and is a critical component in the child’s ability to learn and succeed in school. This screening does not replace the exam provided by your dentist.
If you wish to opt out of the screening, please contact your nurse.
Although passive consent is implied if your school nurse is not contacted, as a parent you have options concerning your child’s dental health. At a minimum, screening is always recommended and does not replace an exam provided by a dentist.
A copy of the screening results will be sent home with the child.
If you wish to sign up for expanded care (cleaning, fluoride varnish, sealants) please fill out the information below. A report will go home with the student on any expanded care received. No sign up is needed for screenings only.
Consent for In-School Dental Care
Preventive services: GraceMed provides in-school dental care including cleanings, sealants, 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 in a dental office. No child will be denied services based on insurance status or ability to pay. However, insurance (if available) will be billed.
**If your child already sees a dentist regularly, please do not complete this form**
