February is the perfect month to catch Punxsutawney Phil, watch the Big Game and take care of your teeth? That’s right. It’s Give Kids a Smile Month! This national initiative helps underserved children get the dental care they need - for FREE. Rowan College at Burlington County will join the charge along with over 30,000 dental professionals across the country on the first Friday in February.
On February 4, RCBC's Dental Hygiene Clinic will offer FREE dental care to children ages 13 and under. Services include screenings, cleanings, fluoride treatments and sealants to protect permanent teeth.
“If we’ve learned anything over the past few years, it’s that rallying behind our community during a time of need benefits everyone,” RCBC’s Director of Dental Hygiene Gail Vasilenko said. “This is a time for us to come together to really make a positive impact on children within our community.”
Give Kids a Smile aims to draw attention to the number one childhood disease: tooth decay. The event will take place at RCBC’s Dental Hygiene Clinic on February 4. To schedule an appointment for your child, please call (856) 291-4215.
