School Dentist
HSE Dental Service โ 6th Class and ASD Class
The HSE Dental Service has contacted the school regarding dental care for children in 6th Class and our ASD class.
The HSE dental team will contact parents directly to arrange an appointment for their child at the HSE Dental Clinic, St Finbarrโs Hospital, Douglas Road, Cork.
At the appointment, the dentist will check your childโs teeth and mouth and assess whether any dental treatment is needed. Where necessary, the HSE dental service may provide appropriate treatment as part of the school dental service. The dentist will discuss any treatment required with you and advise you about your childโs dental care.
The purpose of the service is to identify any dental problems and ensure that children who require dental treatment can receive appropriate care through the HSE.
