Region of Waterloo Public Health Dental Staff will be providing dental screenings to students at Williamsburg on February 4th and 8th. Grades JK, SK and Grade 2 will be screened. Grades 4 and 6 may be screened as well. Additionally, children identified in the previous school year with urgent dental conditions will also be screened. The Registered Dental Hygenist will perform a quick visual inspection using a sterilized mouth mirror for each child.
This dental screening is NOT meant to replace regular dental visits.
If your child needs dental care, you will receive a letter. Public Health staff will collect the dental health information of children who could benefit from further assessment or treatment and use the information to arrange or provide those services.
If you do NOT wish your child to participate in the dental screening, please contact the Region of Waterloo Public Health by phone or email. Please note that we require parents to notify us each school year so that we can keep our records current.
You will need to provide the following information:
- Your child’s first and last name
- Your child’s school, grade, teacher’s name and room number
- Your full name and phone number
If your child has a toothache and needs financial assistance, you do not have to wait until the school dental screening. Call Public Health and arrange a CINOT dental screening at the number listed below.
