Frequently Asked Questions from Parents:
Why did I receive a flyer that looks like the one above?
Your child’s school has agreed to partner with KinderSmile Oral Health Program (KSOHP). Our team of dental professionals and educational volunteers will be traveling to your child’s school in order to provide the services listed on your flyer.
What happens if I don’t sign any forms?
You may choose to decline the free oral exam, free teeth cleaning, and/or the free fluoride treatment for cavity prevention which we offer school groups. It is 100% your choice, and we will respect that choice. NO CHILD is treated without signed dental consent from a legal guardian. Your child will instead participate in our group oral health education, where they will learn how to properly brush their teeth, what foods are good/bad for their teeth, how often & for how long they should brush, etc. This oral health education happens in a group setting and will include all students present, regardless of consent forms.
How will I know the results of my child’s oral exam?
Immediately following your child’s exam, the KSOHP dentist or hygienist will fill out a letter detailing their observations and recommendations. You should receive the letter home via your child’s teacher or school nurse within one week, and in addition, a program coordinator from KinderSmile Foundation will personally call you to discuss the exam results. You may request additional information about your child’s oral health records at any time by calling KinderSmile Community Oral Health Center at 973-744-7003.
