Dental Screening

Iowa law requires any student entering Kindergarten and 9th Grade provide the school proof of a dental screening on the Certificate of Dental Screening form provided. The purpose of this law is to improve the oral health of Iowa’s children. For students in Kindergarten and 9th grade, screenings must occur no earlier than 1 year before enrollment and no later than 4 months after enrollment. The screening must be completed by a dentist or dental hygienist. Your provider should complete the Certificate of Dental Screening form, for you to return to the school office.
