As part of the American Dental Association\u2019s Give Kids a Smile<\/em> program, Goodwin University is proud to once again offer free dental services for children on Saturday, March 7, 2020, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at 403 Main Street in East Hartford.<\/p>\n

The Dental Hygiene program<\/a> at Goodwin University is sponsoring the event, which will offer free dental cleanings, sealants, and x-rays to children ages 3 to 18 accompanied by a parent or guardian. Last year\u2019s campaign was extremely successful, with approximately 40 children receiving dental attention. Interested families should contact the clinic at 860-218-1800 for an appointment.<\/p>\n

\u201cProviding children with early access to dental care will hopefully set the stage for a lifetime of healthy teeth and overall body health,\u201d Goodwin\u2019s Program Director for Dental Hygiene Christine Walsh<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

Patients will receive toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental floss donated by the American Dental Association and Colgate following their appointment. All time, equipment, and other materials are donated by Goodwin. Appointments will take roughly 45 minutes to one hour.<\/p>\n

Goodwin\u2019s Dental Hygiene program is accredited by the Commission of Dental Accreditation, and offers its Dental Hygiene students a professional environment for learning, overseen by faculty who are registered dental hygienists.<\/p>\n

The American Dental Association launched the Give Kids A Smile<\/em> program nationally in 2003 as a way for dental professionals across the country to join with others in their community to provide dental services to underserved children. The program initially began as a one-day event, but has since grown to local and national events year-round. Each year, approximately 350,000 children benefit from more than 1,500 events, all because of the efforts of 40,000 or more annual volunteers.<\/p>\n

For more information, contact the Goodwin Dental Hygiene Clinic at 860-218-1800.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
