给孩子一个微笑:皇冠app为孩子提供免费牙科护理

Goodwin College is proud to offer free dental services for children on 2015年3月25日, as part of the American Dental Association’s 给孩子一个微笑 program.

The 口腔卫生计划 at Goodwin College is sponsoring the event, which will offer dental cleanings, fluoride, dental exams, and radiographs (x-rays) and dental referrals if needed to children ages one to 18, all at no cost to their parents. There are approximately 50 appointments available, and those interested should contact the clinic at 860-218-1800 to guarantee their child a space.

“Good oral health practices are more critical than many people realize, particularly for children and young adults,” Goodwin’s Program Director for 口腔卫生 Carmen Hufcut said.

患者将在预约后收到高露洁捐赠的牙刷、牙膏和牙线。 所有的时间、设备和其他材料都是皇冠app捐赠的。 预约大约需要45分钟。

Goodwin’s 口腔卫生计划 is accredited by the Commission of Dental Accreditation, and offers its dental hygiene students a professional environment for learning, overseen by faculty who are registered dental hygienists.

The American Dental Association launched the 给孩子一个微笑 program nationally in 2003 as a way for dental professionals across the country to join with others in their community to provide dental services to underserved children. 该项目最初是为期一天的活动,但后来发展成为全年的地方和全国性活动。 每年,大约有35万名儿童受益于1500多场活动,这都是因为每年有4万多名志愿者的努力。
