NEW DENTAL PROGRAM

Northwest School District is pleased to offer a new at-school dental care program through the Big Smiles Dental Services. The program is FREE if your child is covered by Medicaid and there are some no-cost resources available for the uninsured as well. On the first day of school, your child will receive a consent form that explains the program. If you are interested in receiving more information and/or participating in the program, complete the form and return to school quickly. If you would prefer to not have your child participate, simply sign the bottom of the form and return to school. The dentist will visit the school and provide exams, cleanings, x-rays, flouride, sealants, and even fillings! Also, our students will be taught how to care for their teeth and the dangers of tobacco products. If you did not receive a form or have other questions, contact the health room or the dental program at 800-409-2563.
