Annually, our School Health Dental Hygienist looks for healthy smiles by providing dental screenings. Please refer to the WCPSS student/parent handbook. Good dental health is important to a student’s overall well-being and affects a child’s success and performance in the classroom.
School Dental Hygienists use a flashlight to provide a quick visual screening of the student’s teeth. This is not like a dental exam by a dentist.
During the dental screening, the School Dental Hygienist follows all CDC (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines.
A letter with the screening results will be sent home in student’s school folder ONLY if your child has questionable or obvious dental needs. If needed, children with obvious dental needs may receive an additional follow-up screening by the School Health Dental Hygienist later in the school year.
Parents/guardians may contact their child’s principal to opt out of dental screenings.
Bryan Road Elementary School will host its screening on Monday, November 25th.
If you have any questions, please contact the school’s dental hygienist, Diana Dakdouk, RDH, at 919-621-2480 or ddakdouk@wcpss.net
