Proof Of Dental Visits

Something new for parents of public school kids in California this year. Proof of dental visits! Now in addition to providing vaccination records, parents must provide proof that their children go to the dentist regularly [or sign a waiver]. Why? What's the point? Cavities aren't contagious. Just another invasion of privacy.

I can understand vaccination records to a point, but dental records? Someone please explain this to me.

My conspiratorial mind thinks it's just more leverage to take kids away from parents. If the school doesn't think your kid goes to the dentist often enough, hmmm...is that neglect? What else are the parents 'failing' to do? Let's call CPS for an investigation!
