As parents are getting ready to send their young ones back to school it is important to remember back to school dental check ups and physicals.

As CEO of Central Counties Health Centers Heather Burton wants to remind residents that dental exams are required by law for kids going in to kindergarten, second, and sixth grade, but it is still good practice to go every six months.

Back to school physicals are required for kids going into grades pre-K, kindergarten, sixth, and grade. They are also required for any student wanting to participate in sports that year in junior high or high school. Burton says using Central Counties Health Care Centers schedule your appointments like normal and you should be in and out in around an hour.

Burton appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
