As you may be aware, a law passed in 2007 requires New York State public schools to request a dental health certificate declaring
oral health condition from students at the time of school entry and in grades K, 2, 4, 7 and 10. This certificate is similar to those
which are required for medical checkups for children in these same grades. Much has been done to educate the dental profession
and the public about dental health assessments, but in order to ensure that as many children as possible are being seen – and, if
necessary, treated – by dentists, it is essential that school administrators, faculty and nurses understand what the new law means
and why it is important.
To that end, the New York State Dental Foundation partnered with the New York State Departments of Education and Health to
sponsor a free webinar, Everything You Need to Know About Dental Health Assessments: A Guide to Improving Children’s Health
and Decreasing School Absences. This one-hour program, originally provided on August 5, 2009 enabled all participants the chance
to ask questions, share resources and learn about what you can do to promote this program.
We now invite you to view a recording of this previously aired webinar to learn more about children's dental health certificates.
Should you have any questions, please contact us at (800) 255-2100. Thank you.
