New Cambria R-IV School Dental Screenings
Dear parent/guardian,
Our school, Macon County Health Dept., Long Branch Dental, and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Office of Dental Health are offering a FREE oral health program to help prevent tooth decay/cavities in students. This program is offered to ALL students in Missouri, including those who visit a dentist regularly. Every student at New Cambria R-IV will receive an oral screening. Only with consent, a thin coating of fluoride varnish will be applied to your child’s teeth to help stop tooth decay/cavities. The fluoride will be applied two times during the school year. Fluoride varnish is safe for use in preventing and reversing small areas of early tooth decay/cavities. There is no cost for the fluoride varnish treatments, but you must give your consent for your child to receive them.
Your child will receive a free toothbrush, toothpaste, and information on oral health on screening days.
*This service does not replace a regular dental check-up. It is recommended to visit a dentist at least once a year.
