Toothsavers is coming to Shaw on October 15!
ToothSavers is a mobile oral health program that provides safe and painless preventive dental services. ToothSavers offers:
Oral health screenings: a visual screening to check the health of the teeth/mouth and detect any dental problems or emergencies.
Dental sealants: A protective tooth-colored shield that is placed on teeth in the back of the mouth, where children most often get cavities.
Fluoride varnish: A dental strengthening gel that is applied to the teeth to add a layer of protection against cavities.
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF): A non-invasive liquid that, when placed over suspicious cavities, can stop the decay process, strengthen the tooth, and may prevent the need for invasive treatments such as a filling or crown
Please use the following link to register your child by October 1: https://www.myschooldentist.com/35084_schsrm
Students DO NOT need to be Shaw students to be seen; all school-age children are welcome. Contact Mrs. Weishaar at 509-354-5826 or pattiw@spokaneschools.org with questions or to register.
