Dear Parent or Caretaker,

As part of the Make Your Smile Count Survey, your child received a dental screening at school. No x-rays were taken, and the screening does not replace an in-office dental examination by a dentist. The results of the screening indicate that:

Your child has no obvious dental problems but should continue to have routine dental examinations by a dentist.

Your child has a tooth or teeth that should be evaluated by a dentist. The dentist will determine whether treatment is needed.

Your child has a tooth or teeth that appear to need immediate care. Contact a dentist as soon as possible for a complete evaluation and appropriate treatment.

If you do not have a family dentist and you need assistance obtaining dental care or insurance, you may contact {name of referral source for area}.

Sincerely,

Name, title, affiliation
