California Oral Exam Requirements

Lack of access to dental care is a problem for many California children. Dental disease is a common reason for school absences and makes it hard for children to concentrate and learn. The California kindergarten dental checkup requirement, AB 1433, helps schools identify children experiencing untreated dental disease and helps parents establish a dental home for their children. AB 1433 requires your child receive an assessment of his or her oral health prior to kindergarten entry (or first grade if this is your child’s first year in public school).

School Nurses are important members of the Old Adobe Unified School District's community. School nurses work alongside our school teams to suppport the healthcare needs of students related to education. If a child is not healthy, then that child’s ability to learn may be impacted. Our school nurse works with school personnel, students, families, community health organizations, physicians and specialists to ensure that all students' health needs are met in order for them to receive the maximum benefit from their educational experience.
