If you wish your child to see My School Dentist, a registration pack is available for collection from the front office or please email for one to be sent home with your child. Please return the completed registration form to the front office by Monday 7th April. Staff from the My School Dentist program will collect the forms and contact you to confirm a booking.
If your child requires further follow-up treatment, the My School Dentist team will contact you to discuss the available options and obtain consent prior to performing any additional treatment.

After the dental check-up, children will be sent home with an oral health report card and free oral health pack, as well as you will be contacted by the treating dentist via phone regarding their appointment.
