Overview
The Dental form is used to store results from a dental checkup for all students at the school. After any information is added or updated to the Dental form, it is stored in the Dental (DNT) table. To access the Dental form, click the mouse on the Dental node under Medical on the menu.
Navigate to Student Data > Medical > Dental page. The following form will display.
The form has been updated to align with California law requiring Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and Kindergarten (KN) students to complete the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment annually.
- New fields have been added for Parent Notification Date (PND) and On‑Site Screening Opt‑Out (OPT).
- Descriptions for existing fields have been revised to better reflect current reporting requirements.
- Dropdown fields for Waiver Reason, Treatment Urgency, and Follow‑Up Status have been standardized using fixed code sets that align with official oral health assessment forms.
- The Follow‑Up field (DNT.FO) has been converted from a free‑text field to a dropdown field.
- The renamed Follow‑Up Status field now includes the following standard values: Y – Treatment Received, N – No Treatment, and U – Unknown.
NOTE: Local codes may be added using the Update Code table.
