Give Kids A Smile Day
On February 2013, I was able to participate in “Give Kids A Smile Day”. In which I saw an 8 year old girl. I evaluated her mixed dentition and evaluated if she was caries active. It was a wonderful 1st experience to have a young patient in my dental chair.
Fluoride Varnish Program
In the fluoride varnish program we visited local Head-Start Programs. Throughout these visits we saw children ages of 4-5 years old with varying degrees of dental needs.. We assessed and determined if children had Early Childhood Caries and with parental consent applied 5% fluoride varnish . This was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed helping and teaching the children about the healthy food choices they can make to keep their teeth caries free.
