Parent/Guardian details

In Victoria, the law recognises that as children become older and more mature, they are more capable of making their own decisions, including seeking and obtaining their own health care. To be considered a mature minor, the Smile Squad clinician must be satisfied that the student has sufficient understanding of the risks, benefits, and possible complications of their condition and proposed treatment to give informed consent.

Your answers to these questions help us understand each student’s dental experiences.

Oral health questionnaire - Part 2

As well as checking teeth, Smile Squad can work out if a student is likely to get tooth decay in the future. We do this by looking at a student’s current oral health, any previous treatment, and their eating, drinking and brushing habits. Your answers to these questions help us develop the best plan to help keep teeth healthy into the future.
