DC requires an oral health assessment for students in its schools and child care under D.C. Code 38-602, and DC Health's Oral Health Assessment Form is the record for all students aged 3 and older. It replaces the earlier version used for entry into DC schools, Head Start programs and child care centers. The dental provider reports caries, sealants and care needs.
The parent completes Part 1, the child's information. The dental provider completes Part 2, the oral health status questions, and signs with the examination date and office stamp.

Oral Health Assessment Form
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

The parent fills in Part 1 with the child's details and school, then takes the form to the child's dental provider. The dental provider answers the Part 2 questions on caries, sealants and care needs, signs it, and adds the examination date and office stamp.
Yes. The form is approved by DC Health as a confidential document. Health providers handle it under HIPAA, and DC schools and other providers handle it under FERPA, as the form itself notes.
