Examinations will soon be offered to your school. These will be conducted in the Dental Van located at Enoggera State School. Please return your Medical Consent form to Enoggera State School office by Friday 15 November 2019 and you will be contacted for an appointment.
A parent/legal guardian must attend the examination appointment. This is so that you can be involved in making decisions about your child’s oral health care and discuss any issues that may be of concern.
Please remember to bring your child’s Medicare Card to every appointment
