Did I just sign a permission slip that lets an in-school dental clinic extract my child’s teeth? Navigating student and school health privacy
A Baltimore mom was surprised and unhappy recently when her son came home from school missing three teeth. The source? A mobile dental clinic at a Baltimore city public school had extracted some of her son’s teeth that day. The mother didn’t realize it, but she had already consented to the dental work through signing a permission slip/release form.
