When is Smile Squad visiting your school?
All government schools are invited to participate each school year.
If your child’s school chooses to participate, they will let parents and carers know when Smile Squad will be visiting. Your school will send you a consent form in the lead up to the dental health check-ups – all you need to do is complete it and Smile Squad will take care of the rest.
All students will be offered a free dental pack, even if they choose not to receive services.
What if Smile Squad isn't at our school?
If Smile Squad isn't coming to your school, or you don't want to wait, read more about how you can access public dental care.
If you have a dental emergency
If your child has dental pain, you can contact the nearest dentist or community dental clinic for help.
- To find your nearest clinic, you can use the online community dental clinics for a list of dental clinics in your area.
- You can also contact the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne on 03 9341 1000 (Melbourne Metro) or 1800 833 039 (outside Melbourne Metro) or email enquiries@dhsv.org.au.
