What can I expect at a
School Dental Presentation?
Our dental hygienists and assistants can host multiple educational sessions at your school! We cater our presentations to the age range we’re presenting to from Pre-K-5th grade. You can expect about half an hour of interactive full-filled games and demonstrations. Our goal is to help kids retain healthy habits that will last a lifetime! That’s why our team uses a variety of visual props including puppets, giant toothbrushes, and more to keep the kids engaged and involved in a fun learning experience.
Some of the topics we cover are:
- Healthy and unhealthy foods for your teeth
- How to brush and floss
- What to expect at your first dental appointment
Our team conducts School Dental Presentations and Dental Screenings across Pennsylvania and Delaware at schools, Head Start programs, daycares, preschools, after-school programs, Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA’s, local community events, and more. Scroll down to book your visit!
We offer FREE Visual Dental Screenings for kids!
Did you know that Pennsylvania’s Department of Health requires children to receive dental examinations in 3rd and 7th grade? This also applies to kids when they first attend a new school. According to a study by Delta Dental, more than 30% of children ages 6-12 in the US miss more than 9 million school days due to oral health problems. Studies have even shown that kids with healthy oral habits are more likely to succeed in school with better grades. We’re on a mission to change that, but we need your help! Request a Visual Dental Screening or School Dental Presentation for your school to help get your student’s smiles on track!
Here’s what a Visual Dental Screening entails:
- Visual observation of a child’s mouth
- Assessment of possible risk of tooth decay
- Take-home written evaluation for parent/guardian’s review
While the visual dental screening does not include any x-rays or dental treatment, our staff’s observations will provide a recommendation for their parent or guardian to take the next steps to ensure their child’s optimal oral health following the screening. After a parent or guardian reviews their child’s Visual Dental Screening Assessment, we encourage parents to schedule an appointment for their child’s full dental examination at one of our locations.
Ready to help your students have healthy habits for a lifetime?
