Which statement describes not eligibility for the 1st Look Program?

• A. A child who has already been seen by a dentist.
• B. A child who has never seen a clinician.
• C. A child aged 6-12 years.
• D. A child with no high-risk indicators.

Answer: (A)

This item tests who the 1st Look Program is meant to serve. The program is designed to reach children who have not yet received professional dental care and connect them with a clinician. Therefore, a child who has already been seen by a dentist is not eligible, because the program’s purpose is to identify those without prior dental visits. By contrast, a child who has never seen a clinician would be within the target group, as would a child aged 6-12 years, which is the typical age range for outreach screenings. Having no high-risk indicators doesn't automatically disqualify a child from being screened; the program may still provide an initial visit or connect them to care for those with no prior risk indicators.
