Making dental cleanings fun

Visit to the Dentist

Stickers and sunglasses splashed with color are all you need.

Free preventive dental treatment for youngsters ages 6 to 14 is a highlight of the biannual Asian-American Dental Society Free Sealant and Prophy Day, although if you ask the patients, they may be more apt to remember the fun souvenirs they received in the process.

On Oct. 26 approximately 100 patients received preventive care thanks to ADS members and dozens of volunteers from the Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry community, including students, faculty, residents, staff, alumni and Dallas-area predental students.
