Pretty sure it was organised through the school (Peel Park Juniors in my case) you had an appointment time given you to have an inspection at the Cannon Street Dental Clinic (now a Childrens Day Care centre)
Nit Nurse inspections were every year junior and a couple of times in secondary HW.
There was also a couple of visits by the district nurse in secondary for a general check up as we moved through puberty, tonsils and I think testicles checked, separate spatulas here as I recall. Maybe they just alternated the same ones for effect from pupil to pupil?
