All children deserve a healthy smile, and the Smile Squad is coming to Yarraville Special Developmental School to help make sure this happens. 

Smile Squad is a Victorian Government program that provides free dental care to all Victorian government primary and secondary school students.

The bright orange Smile Squad vans are staffed by experienced oral health therapists, dental therapists, dental assistants and dentists. They all have lots of experience treating children and a passion for improving their oral health – for life.

The friendly Smile Squad dental team will visit our school on Monday 11^th September 2023 to conduct a free annual dental health examination for every student and provide free follow up treatment as needed.

Do I need to attend my child’s appointment?

No, you do not need to attend your child’s appointment. You can attend if you would like to, and you can take your child to the community dental clinic if you prefer.

What do you need to do?

We need your consent before we can provide services. Consent is usually provided by a parent or guardian. Sign up to Smile Squad at: https://bit.ly/smilesquadvic  OR use the below QR Code displayed.

The Smile Squad team will check the student’s teeth and mouth and show them how to keep their teeth healthy and strong. They will also provide any preventive services you have consented for. If the student needs more treatment, the Smile Squad will discuss this and seek consent.

Paper copies of the consent form are available. Please contact the school office if you would like to request one. The electronic consent form can be translated into more than 100 languages.
