Nurses Notes:
February is dental awareness month. During middle school students are often evaluated by your dentist for bite alignment and the potential need for corrective braces. A student should see a dentist at least 2x/year in addition to brushing and flossing daily to protect those permanent teeth that have or are now emerging. Studies have shown that good oral hygiene is a component important to prevention of cardiac disease as well. If your student does not have a dentist, A. G. Wright will be utilizing the Smile Program of Virginia for your convenience on April, 26, 2019. The Smile Program utilizes dentists in the area that come to the school during school hours and will check and clean the teeth. In order for a student to be seen a completed Smile Program dental form will need to be returned to the School Nurse or application online directly to Smile . Each student will have the opportunity to bring a form home or you may contact the School Nurse at 540 658-6240 for questions. The student will then bring a report of services rendered. Again, the student will only be seen by the dentist with written approval. I will make the forms available in March which will be returned completed to the School Nurse if interested in utilizing this service.
