Smile Partners will be here at Panther Lake from April 8 -12, 2013.  Smile Partners is a local nonprofit organization providing dental screenings, cleanings, sealants, and temporary cavity fillings to students.  There are no needles, and no teeth will be drilled on.  They will bill Provider One insurance, private insurance, and also have a sliding scale fee for service for the uninsured.  No students will be turned down for lack of insurance. No deductibles are collected.   We are looking forward to Smile Partners come after spring break to provide their dental services to improve our oral health. Consent forms will go home in the middle of March, and should be returned no later than March 28, 2013.  Dental screenings will take place on April 8, 2013, and an oral health report with treatment plan options to be sent home with your child on this day.  You can decide to have the work done by signing the treatment form and returning  it on April 9, 2013.  No deductibles are collected.
