Each year, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ dental hygiene students dedicate their time to giving back to the community by offering free preventive dental care for youth ages 3 to 17 at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Dental Clinic. This initiative includes essential services such as dental exams, x-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants—all provided at no cost. The treatments are delivered by ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ dental hygiene students under the careful supervision of licensed dentists and hygienists. This event not only allows students to contribute to a meaningful humanitarian effort but also helps them accumulate the practical experience required for their degree. Remember, our ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Dental Clinic offers affordable services every fall and spring semester!
