An Act relative to pupil dental health

This bill requires parents or guardians to provide proof of a dental screening by a licensed professional within the past year for children entering kindergarten or starting school. Schools must notify parents about this requirement and provide information on oral health's importance, while maintaining privacy. It establishes a standardized form for dental professionals to record screening details and a reporting system for schools to submit annual data on screening completion and oral health status to the health department. The collected data will be used for public health analysis, focusing on access barriers and dental health outcomes for students.
