Dental Screening
According to the State of Iowa Health and Human Services, the intent of the School Dental Screening law is to improve the oral health of Iowa children – finding cavities or other problems early, lowering treatment costs, and teaching children how to care for their teeth and gums through proper brushing and choosing healthy foods and drinks. Having good oral health makes children better learners in school.
Iowa law requires students entering kindergarten AND 9th-grade to provide proof of a dental screening to their school.
If your child has had a dental exam or screening in the past 12 months but has not yet turned in the Certificate of Dental Screening form linked below, please ask the provider who completed the exam or screening to fill out the Certificate as soon as possible. Once completed, submit the form to your child's school.
