Summer break flies by—and if your child is starting Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, or First Grade this fall, there’s one school requirement you can’t skip: the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment.
At Children Happy Teeth, we’re helping families meet the California state dental checkup requirement before school starts. Appointments fill up fast during summer, so don’t wait until the last minute to book your child’s visit.

What Is the Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment?
It’s a quick dental checkup required by California law for first-time public school students. A licensed dental provider checks for:
- Cavities
- Gum health
- Tooth development
- Any signs of dental issues
We complete the state-mandated form and hand it to you—ready for school submission.
Why It Matters
Skipping this step could mean scrambling for an appointment at the last minute—or worse, starting school without meeting the health requirement. Plus, untreated dental issues can lead to missed school days, pain, and difficulty concentrating.
Getting it done now means peace of mind and a healthy start to the year.
