Health forms
The Nurse is here for you!
We strive to keep our students as safe and healthy as possible while at school. Please keep us updated on any changes in your child’s health and wellness throughout the school year. These changes could include, but are not limited to: new medications, medication changes, newly diagnosed medical conditions, broken bones, surgery, diet changes, or any other information you think might be helpful for us to know in caring for your child while they are at school.
ORAL HEALTH
We are pleased to inform you that we will continue our partnership with Mainely Teeth, to provide dental services to the students of MSAD 11. During the school year, a Mainely Teeth hygienist will provide routine dental screenings, preventive services and simple dental treatments to students who are eligible and have been signed up ahead of time. Mainely teeth will provide these services to our students once during the school year. If you would like your child to receive routine preventative care every 6 months, please call (207)808-9498 to schedule an appointment at their office located at 94 Washington Ave. in Portland, ME.
The hygienist providing services will share information gathered at your child’s appointment, including their findings and photos of your child’s teeth, with the dentists at Mainely Teeth. They will work together to make a plan that will keep your child’s teeth as healthy as possible. This means your child will have a dental home. Your child is eligible to receive this service if they have not received routine, preventive dental care in the last 6 months. If you already have a dentist/dental home for your child that you would like to continue going to, but are still interested in having your child seen at school by Mainely Teeth, please contact Mainely Teeth (207)808-9498 for further information before signing your child up. Most children’s dental needs can be met at these school visits, but Mainely Teeth will work with your family to schedule further treatments if necessary.
Dental insurance, including MaineCare, will be billed for this service if your child has it. If your child does not have dental insurance and you would like your child to receive care, Mainely Teeth will still provide all services indicated. Please ensure the Insurance Verification Form is fully completed. If Mainely Teeth is having issues submitting a claim and is unable to verify your child’s insurance with you after 1 attempted contact, you will receive a bill in the mail for the services rendered. If the Insurance Verification Form is left blank, you will receive a bill for the services rendered.
