Service Learning Project
Educated a 5th grade class about the importance of good oral hygiene practices using the Tell-Show-Do method. We lectured them using a powerpoint presentation, demonstrated how to brush and floss using a typodont, and handed out strips of floss and passed around the typodont with a manual toothbrush so the students could implement these techniques. It was a fun and rewarding experience.

Head Start Program
Screened children of ages 2-5 for early childhood caries using a tongue depressor and small flashlight for illumination, and reported dental findings of the child to their parents who gave consent for the screening. After screening, each child got an application of fluoride varnish. Another rewarding and eye opening experience.
