Attention Parents/Guardians:

The Dental Public Health Preventative Clinic will be at Georgetown Elementary on October 16th, 2024 .

Purpose of Dental Clinic: Screen children to assess risk of oral disease; provide oral health education, topical fluoride, scaling/polishing and sealants, according to your child’s individual needs.

Screening:  All children will be seen for a two-minute screening to determine their risk of oral disease.  If you do not wish your child to have this dental screening, please notify the school secretary or classroom teacher.

Consent: After the screening, all children will be given a consent form which will be necessary for you to complete and return before services are provided 

Fees: There is no cost involved as the preventative services are covered by the Provincial School Dental Care Program. 

Further Information:  Please note that only preventative services will be provided and the screening is not a substitute for an annual dental examination.  It is strongly recommended that parents take their children to a dentist for regular examinations and treatment.  The Provincial Dental Care Program assists with the cost of basic dental care delivered in private and public dental offices for children from ages 3 -17.  For more information, please visit ttp://www.healthpei.ca/dentalhealth
