With warmer weather, three items come to mind water, wisdom teeth, and dental check-ups.
WATER
A time of hydration for overall health and dental health. Please refer to the link
Encouraging Your Child to Drink Water. You will find suggestions to encourage your family and friends to drink more water and less sugary drinks.
WISDOM TEETH
The summer is usually a time of seeking new dentists or an oral surgeon for teens needing wisdom teeth evaluated. Please refer to the link
Questions to Ask When Looking for a Dental Office. This will provide useful tips when seeking dental care.
DENTAL CHECK UPS
If your child is new to the West Shore School District or will be entering grade 1,3, or 7, the district will need a completed dental form. Pennsylvania mandates school districts provide dental screenings for students who have not seen a dentist during designated times.
If your child has seen a dentist during 2021, please ask your dentist to complete the dental form from the below link.
