Volunteers Give Kids A Smile

摘要

Since Give Kids a Smile Day started in 2003, underserved children all over the country have been getting free dental care and education in February during National Children's Dental Health Month. In Chicago Feb. 5, the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry welcomed the third and fifth graders of St. Malachy's School as part of its Give Kids a Smile Day celebration. Hygiene students from Kennedy-King College provided dental examinations, fluoride treatments and oral health education to the young students. CDS and Colgate donated educational materials to the kids. New Gov. Pat Quinn also appeared at the event. He spoke to the media during the news conference on the importance of supporting oral health and then went to visit the children receiving oral screenings and education.
