Preventative Oral Health Program is Coming Soon!
Florida Department of Health in Duval County
Preventive Oral Health Program
Dear Parent/Legal Guardian:
Don Brewer Elementary School will soon be visited by the Children's Mobile Dental Unit as an effort of The Florida Department of Health in Duval County, to provide preventive dental services to students. All children ages 1 through 20 are eligible for the services at no cost to the parent. Permission is required from one parent or legal guardian before your child can take part in this program.
The goal of this program is to teach each child how to properly clean his/her teeth, provide a dental assessment, prophy (dental cleaning), oral hygiene instructions, fluoride treatment and place protective sealants, if needed. Dental sealants are tooth-colored protective coatings on the chewing surfaces of healthy back teeth that act as a barrier to prevent cavities. Sealants are approved and recommended by the American Dental Association. Your child may be chosen to be reevaluated next year for sealant retention and sealant(s) may be reapplied at the follow-up visit.
A licensed dentist or dental hygienist from the Florida Department of Health in Duval County will provide an assessment of your child's teeth. Your child will not be given any sedatives, shots, medications or x-rays.
This program is for educational and preventive purposes only.
After your child is treated, a letter will be sent home describing what was done and what follow-up care is needed.
This program should not replace a complete dental check-up in a dental office.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR CHILD TO BE SEEN BY THE
DENTAL PROGRAM, PLEASE COMPLETE ALL THE
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CLICKING ON THE FILE BELOW FOR THE FORM, DOWNLOADING IT, AND RETURNING IT TO YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER. If you have any difficulty downloading and/or printing the form out, please contact the Main Office at: 904-745-4990. Thank You!
