DENTAL SCREENING

Dear Parent/Guardian: School Year 2023-2024

To identify children with oral health problems, a screening program is offered by Toronto Public Health (TPH) to students in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Health requirements for mandatory health programs. The screening is an assessment by an oral health staff member using a separate sterilized mouth mirror for each child. The oral health staff member will assess the need for topical fluoride, scaling, sealant and any other obvious dental needs. As a follow up to the screening, only parents whose children were screened will be notified and a note to that effect will be sent home with their child for your information and action. You may also receive a phone call from TPH dental staff to assist you in accessing care. Please be advised that this screening assessment does not replace the dental examination done by a dentist.The screening date for your child/ren's school has been scheduled for:  APRIL 29-MAY 2
If you do not wish your child/ren to be screened, please inform the school staff and the classroom teacher. For additional information, please visit us at http://www.toronto.ca/health/dental/children_youth.htm or contact the oral health staff member on the phone number/email listed above.Please note that all personal health information (PHI) collected during the screening process will be protected under the provincial Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).
