All children deserve a healthy smile, and the Smile Squad is coming to WILLOW GROVE PS 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 friendly Smile Squad dental team will visit WILLOW GROVE PS late in term 2 or early term 3 to conduct a free dental health examination for every student and provide free follow up treatment as needed.
What do you need to do?
We need your consent before we can provide services. Consent is usually provided by a parent or guardian.

Alternatively, hard copies of the consent form are available from the school office on request.
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.
Please complete and submit either the online or hard copy consent form by MONDAY 1ST JUNE.
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.
Who is Smile Squad?
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.
