Every day, what you do protects or harms your smile.
A healthy smile has great benefit for your health, education, self esteem, social and career success. For children and teens, poor oral health is about common oral problems: tooth decay, bleeding gums, bad breath, and the start of bone loss around teeth. Poor oral health is linked to obesity, diabetes, heart problems, low birth weight newborns, pneumonia, and other chronic health problems*.
My SmileGuide is a secure and interactive health questionnaire created to help teens and caregivers learn about their (their child’s) oral health and get personalized advice to practice healthy choices so important for overall health. My SmileGuide identifies your risk concerns for common mouth problems and saves your health record in a personal folder that only you can access anytime.
-
For children K through sixth grade, caregivers and parents must complete their
child’s health questionnaire for (or with) their child. -
Teenagers should complete their personal health questionnaire and inform their parent
or guardian about this oral health program.
This questionnaire is not a test. Personal information collected will not be shared with any teacher or school administrator. Completing the questionnaire truthfully and accurately ensure that you get the most benefit from this health education program.
