Give Kids a Smile
As part of National Children’s Dental Health Month MEND held its Annual Give Kids a Smile Day on February 5, 2010. More than 300 pre-school students from neighboring Vaughn and Pacoima Charter Schools received dental screening, fluoride treatment, oral hygiene instructions and an oral hygiene kit including toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Dentists from the San Fernando Valley Dental Society volunteered their time and skills to treat young patients who do not have dental insurance. Children who need additional dental care can to return to MEND for follow up care.
