The Community Dental Service Van will be visiting Cotswold School in Week 4

The Community Dental Service Van will be making a visit to Cotswold School in approximately Week 4.

• Only the children who currently require a check-up will be seen at this visit.
• Please do not be concerned if your child is not called for a check-up this time.
• The dental therapist will provide a regular check-up and preventative care which may include:-
  • Cleaning/scaling (to remove plaque from teeth)
  • Dental x rays (to check for decay in teeth, or presence and position of teeth)
  • Fluoride varnish (painted on teeth to help prevent decay)
  • Fissure Sealants (coating put on teeth to prevent decay) if required.
• If your child requires any other dental care, they will bring home a ‘Care Plan’ which will explain what dental care and appointment times are required.
• When you receive a ‘Care Plan’ please contact our Call Centre as soon as possible as you will need to arrange a time to bring your child to one our Community Clinics for this dental care.
• Please contact our Call Centre if you want further information on the Community Dental Service, to enrol your child or if you have any specific questions about your child’s dental care (a dental therapist will call you back).
