The Dentist is Coming!

Posted Wednesday, December 14th, 2011 by Mrs. Peacock

Once again we are pleased to have Smile Illinois-Mobile Dentists return to Anne Fox School on February 9, 2012.

The Mobile Dentists’ team will set up a mini-dental office in our building and will provide exams, teeth cleaning, fluoride treatment and sealants as indicated for all children who return completed forms.

Mobile Dentists provides grants to families who who require full financial assistance and subsidizes fees for those who need financial aid.  No child is ever turned away by Mobile Dentists/Smile Programs because of financial need.

Parents of Kindergarten, 2nd and 6th grade students:  please note that by May 2012 you must show proof that your child has seen the dentist within the past 18 months.  This is a requirement for all children in the State of Illinois.  If the Smile Illinois dentist examines your child, you have fulfilled this obligation. 

Please call Michele Traina, Fox School Nurse at 630-736-3551 if you have any questions.  Remember to complete all sections and sign the dental form before sending it back to the nurse.

We hope all our families have a safe, happy and healthy holiday season!
