Packets are emailed out in time for you to have those two (2) weeks before the course. If two weeks has passed, please check your junk/spam folder.
- Do I have to wear scrubs?
-
Yes.
- Can I use my Coronal Polishing Pass Letter to enroll in Sealants?
-
No. Just because you passed coronal polishing does not mean that you have obtained your permit from the Oklahoma Board of Dentistry. You must have a current permit that says "YES" next to Coronal Polishing. Nothing else will be accepted.

-
Yes.
- Can primary (baby) teeth be used for my six (6) exam teeth.
-
No. Permanent teeth are the only ones that can have sealants applied to them.
- Can I take this course if I am pregnant.
-
Yes.
- Can my Exam Patient be another dental professional?
-
No. You may NOT use another dental professional (dental assistant, dental hygienist, dentist, etc.) as your exam patient.
- Can my extracted teeth have decay?
-
Incipient (initial) decay is okay but the occlusal surface must be intact to be able to place sealants.
- Can my extracted teeth have restoration?
-
No. Extracted teeth must be free of restoration.
