GSDM Gives Kids a Smile

On Saturday, November 19, 2016, 31 children from 19 families received extraordinary preventive and/or restorative dental services from 10 Pediatric Dentistry residents and four AEGD residents at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) during Give Kids a Smile Day (GKAS). Over $7,000 of free dental care in the form of exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, x-rays, sealants, and fillings was provided. Many of the families voiced that they will be back and will strive to make the Pediatric Oral Health Care Center their child’s dental home.

Tremendous work was done by the group of 117 volunteers; including 69 from GSDM, 45 from the Mt. Ida Dental Hygiene Program and three from the Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS). Special thanks to our GKAS Planning Committee; Drs. Joe Calabrese, Michelle Henshaw, Porshe Jumlongras, Athanasios Zavras, and Ms. Kathy Lituri, Mr. John Riley, Mr. Jon Synnott, Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter, as well as Drs. Gandhi and Lowenstein from the MDS.
