Give Kids a Smile is Back!
January 22, 2018
A big smile and a thumbs up!
FSC’s Department of Dental Hygiene will host the 10th Annual Give Kids A Smile event on Friday, 2/2, from noon – 4:30 p.m. Children ages 1 – 17 and their parents are invited to visit the Dental Hygiene Care Center in Gleeson Hall, to receive free oral screenings, dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral health education, provided by Farmingdale faculty and students.
A speech pathologist will be on hand, and students from the nursing program will conduct blood pressure screenings for parents. Students and faculty from the medical laboratory technology department will demonstrate proper hand-washing techniques for all attendees.
Give Kids a Smile is free, but appointments are required. If you know a child who needs dental care and education, have a family member call 631-420-2282.
Give Kids a Smile, sponsored nationally by the American Dental Association, was developed to provide children with access to preventive dental care. Approximately 200 children, parents and volunteers are expected to attend. Local sponsors include Henry Schein, Colgate and Dexis.
