Prevention & School Screening
The flagship session — the one session fully playable end to end in the VR clinic. It follows the Zero Cavity workflow — screen → educate → refer — with no treatment in the field. A live checklist highlights the current step throughout, a short theory card precedes each step, and the sequence itself is the lesson: in a graded run, out-of-order actions are recorded as sequence faults with a stated consequence.

Demo session. A demo program inspired by Unspoken Smiles' public work — not an official Unspoken Smiles program, not endorsed by or affiliated with Unspoken Smiles. Simulated training only — not certification, licensure, or clinical training. Screening is not diagnosis: learners flag and refer; findings in the simulation are always given, never diagnosed by the learner.
The nine steps
| Step | What happens | What it teaches |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Arrive & set up the hall | Set up the screening hall: privacy screens, kit case, stations | Field setup before any child is seen |
| 2. Check the chart & consent | Check the consent list against the class list | Consent check before anyone is seen — in that order |
| 3. Welcome the class | Greet the class and set expectations | Communication and comfort, first |
| 4. The brushing demo | Demonstrate brushing on the big tooth model | Teaching a skill, not just telling it |
| 5. The fluoride talk | Explain fluoride in plain language | Prevention education |
| 6. The screening example | Walk through a screening on the model | What a screening looks like, step by step |
| 7. Snacks sorting game | Sort snacks by what they do to teeth | Prevention teaching that children remember |
| 8. Chart & log the morning | Chart what was seen and log the morning | Records: chart it, or it did not happen |
| 9. Visual quiz & debrief | Visual quiz, then a debrief of the run | Check understanding, then reflect |
The rules the session teaches
- Consent comes before screening, every time. No form, no screening — no exceptions. A child without a signed form joins the brushing demo group while the consented children are screened.
- Screening is not diagnosis. See a dark spot? Record what you see and flag it — the clinician decides what it is.
- Privacy first. Screens go up before the kit comes out; the kit is laid out in the same order every time.
- Comfort is part of the skill. An anxious child is met at her level, shown the big tooth first, and given a stop signal — and if she still says no, she joins the demo unscreened, and it is noted, kindly.
- The record is part of the care. The morning closes when the charts, the flags and the log agree.
Scoring — play only
Each run goes lesson → checklist → tasks (50 points) → visual quiz (100 points), rated Bronze <40% / Silver <70% / Gold <95% / All-Star 95%+. The rating is play only — never a credential or a completion record. In the TradePath Training Centre, the same session runs as a five-step guided scenario: PPE and referral-path check → welcome and consent → set screens and kit → run the screening steps → close the queue, file the forms, debrief with the coach.
