What We Offer

- An oral check-up for assessing dental decay/caries. Dental caries
is a disease that generally is preventable. Post check-up, children are divided
into four categories on the basis of caries risk. And depending on the child's
dental requirement they are advised to visit IDA member dentists (from IDA's Dentist
Directory or nearest Child Dental Centre).

teeth.

Follow Up
A separate Home Page is created by IDA, which will be linked to your website. This
will speak about the exemplary health care facility extended by your School to its
students. Moreover, we would provide two distinct links.
- The first one will take you to your School’s Oral Health Centre. Using this link,
individual students, the school authorities or parents can locate a dentist nearest
to their place of residence from a “Dentist Directory” or "Child Dental Centre".
- The second one – each student, with the help of a unique ID and a password, can
view only his/her dental examination reports online anytime, anywhere in the world.
On this same link, using another set of ID and password, authorized personnel from
your School can view the Oral Health Status of all the students exclusively.
An Oral Health Kit will be dispatched by IDA to individual students. This kit contains
–
- Child Oral Health Card
- Letter from the IDA
with information on the student’s user ID and password.
The Child Oral Health Card would entitle the holder to a 10 to 15% discount
on dental treatment- charges, when they visit IDA member dentists,
whose names appear in the Dentist Directory or Child Dental Centre.
