Smile Squad

 

During Term 2 the Smile Squad will be visiting Craigieburn Primary School. We are excited that our community will have access to this vital service, provided by the Department of Health. 

 All children deserve a healthy smile, and the Smile Squad free school dental program is working hard to help make sure this happens. In the lead up to the visit, your child(ren) will soon receive a free dental pack to bring home. The dental pack contains a toothbrush, full sized toothpaste, and an oral health brochure. Please take the time to read the brochure. It’s full of helpful hints and tips to help your whole family eat well, drink well and clean well – for life.
 

Standard strength toothpaste

Smile Squad provides standard strength fluoride toothpaste that is generally used by ages six and over, unless recommended by a dental or trained health professional.

If your child is under six, please talk to a dental or trained health professional to find out if your child might benefit from using this toothpaste. You can also choose to put the toothpaste away until they turn six or give it to someone else in your family to use.

Coming to CPS in Term 2. Please follow the instructions below to access this vital and free service.
 
Smile Squad is the Victorian Government free school dental program.

This means all students can get a free dental check-up, preventive services, and treatment at school.
