Illinois state law requires that all children entering kindergarten, second grade, and sixth grade will have an oral health examination. A licensed dentist must perform the dental exam and he/she shall sign and date the report form. Dental offices usually have the form, but the dental exam form can be obtained by clicking here or by contacting your child’s school and requesting a dental exam form or by visiting d303.org website under departments, then Health Services. This exam must be completed within 18 months of May 15, 2024.

In an effort to assist you in completing this oral health exam for your child, the Mobile Dentist will be on site at Davis on Feb. 6th and Richmond on Feb 7th -provided we have enough students for the Mobile Dentist to come. Please consider taking this opportunity of in-school care at little to no cost to you.

• The Mobile Dentist accepts Medicaid and private insurance.
• Self-pay by cash or check for $70 is also available for those without insurance coverage.
• Services provided are cleaning, screening, sealants, and flouride.
• Forms will be sent home and must be completed and signed by parent or guardian. Extra forms are available in the health office or you can click below to download a copy.
