School Dental Screening in Johannesburg: What a Good Program Looks Like
What a school dental screening program in Johannesburg should include, how reports are sent home, and how to run one at your school.
A good school dental program is not a marketing exercise. It is a 5-minute, no-pressure screening for every child whose parent signs consent.
What it should include
- •Visual screening by a registered dentist, not a marketer
- •A written report sent home in the child's bag the same day
- •No upselling, parents choose their own follow-up dentist
- •Optional fluoride application with explicit consent
Access Care Dental runs school programs across Johannesburg, Sandton, Rosebank, Parktown, Soweto and the East Rand.
