Assessments that have happened within the 12 months before your child enters school also meet this requirement. The law specifies that the assessment must be done by a licensed dentist or other licensed or registered dental health professional. Take the attached Oral Health Assessment/Waiver Request form to the dental office, as it will be needed for your childs check-up. If you cannot take your child for this required assessment, please indicate the reason for this in Section 3 of the form. You can get more copies of the necessary form at your childs school or online from the California Department of Educations Web site at  HYPERLINK "http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/hn/" http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/hn/. California law requires schools to maintain the privacy of students health information. Your childs identity will not be associated with any report produced as a result of this requirement. The following resources will help you find a dentist and complete this requirement for your child: Medi-Cal/Denti-Cals toll-free number or Web site can help you to find a dentist who takes Denti-Cal: 1-800-322-6384;  HYPERLINK "http://www.denti-cal.ca.gov" http://www.denti-cal.ca.gov.

Healthy Families toll-free number or Web site can help you to find a dentist who takes Healthy Families insurance or to find out if your child can enroll in the program: 1-800-880-5305 or  HYPERLINK "http://www.benefitscal.com/" http://www.benefitscal.com/. For additional resources that may be helpful, contact your local public health department at (fill in appropriate local contact information, available at  HYPERLINK "http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/CountyOffices.aspx" http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/CountyOffices.aspx). Remember, your child is not healthy and ready for school if he or she has poor dental health! Here is important advice to help your child stay healthy: Take your child to the dentist twice a year. Choose healthy foods for the entire family. Fresh foods are usually the healthiest foods. Brush teeth at least twice a day with toothpaste that contains fluoride. Limit candy and sweet drinks, such as punch or soda. Sweet drinks and candy contain a lot of sugar, which causes cavities and replaces important nutrients in your childs diet. Sweet drinks and candy also contribute to weight problems, which may lead to other diseases, such as diabetes. The less candy and sweet drinks, the better! Baby teeth are very important. They are not just teeth that will fall out. Children need their teeth to eat properly, talk, smile, and feel good about themselves. Children with cavities may have difficulty eating, stop smiling, and have problems paying attention and learning at school. Tooth decay is an infection that does not heal and can be painful if left without treatment. If cavities are not treated, children can become sick enough to require emergency room treatment, and their adult teeth may be permanently damaged. Many things influence a childs progress and success in school, including health. Children must be healthy to learn, and children with cavities are not healthy. Cavities are preventable, but they affect more children than any other chronic disease. If you have questions about the new oral health assessment requirement, please contact (fill in name of district personnel or office responsible for the program, telephone number and/or e-mail address).
