Help Your Child Get Ready to Go Back to School

Summer offers a break from school. This is the ideal time to take your child to their primary care provider (PCP) and dentist for check-ups. This makes  sure they get the vaccines and screenings they need to have a healthy start to the school year. 

Use these tips to prepare for your child’s visits

  • Bring a list of questions or concerns.

  • Complete surveys your child’s provider or dentist has sent you.

  • Bring any school forms your child’s provider or dentist needs to fill out.

  • Bring any information you think your child’s provider or dentist should  be aware of, such as:

    • A vaccination record.

    • After-visit summaries from recent urgent care, emergency room or hospital visits.

Call your child’s PCP and dentist today to schedule your child’s visits.
