A dental exam form must be completed and signed by the family dentist for students upon entrance to school in either kindergarten or first grade and then again in third grade and seventh grade.  At each of these grade levels, forms should be completed and returned to the respective schools no later than September 30.  It is strongly recommended that your family dentist perform the exam as he/she is the most familiar with your child’s dental needs and will be able to provide any follow-up treatments, sealants, and cleanings.
