Giving Smiles
At GKAS, Fighting Cavities is Fun
On Give Kids a Smile Day, RSDM was filled with tooth fairies, magic and games. But students and faculty were on a serious mission: to prevent dental decay, one of the most prevalent diseases among children. Nearly 300 Essex County children received free dental screenings and fluoride treatments to prevent cavities at RSDM's Newark clinic. And there were lessons on the proper way to brush and keep teeth healthy, in addition to toothbrush giveaways and other oral health swag.LEARN MORE
