This weekend, LECOM Dental School is hosting its annual “Give Kids a Smile” event, inviting children aged 2-17 to receive free dental screenings. The event will take place on Saturday, April 12, and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis for walk-ins, although pre-registration is recommended.
To secure a spot, parents can email [email protected]. This initiative is part of a broader effort to provide essential dental care to underserved children, aligning with the national Give Kids a Smile program, which aims to raise awareness about the ongoing need for accessible oral health services for all children.
The event is a collaborative effort by LECOM dental students, who are committed to providing quality care and education to the local community. Similar events have been successful in other locations, such as the LECOM School of Dental Medicine in DeFuniak Springs, where hundreds of children have benefited from free dental services.
