Here’s something to smile about: Concorde Career Colleges, a nationwide educator of dental hygienists and assistants, has partnered with PDS Health to provide no-cost dental care for ages 4 – 17 at its San Diego campus in Mountain View.
Concorde dental hygiene students will provide free X-rays, cleanings and preventive treatments under the supervision of licensed professionals. Families will also receive dental kits and oral health resources, organizers said.
Tooth decay remains the most common chronic childhood disease, according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, yet it is largely preventable with early and regular care.
“Dental care is essential for every child, yet many families in San Diego still face financial barriers,” said Kimberly Pennington, dental hygiene program director at Concorde Career College – San Diego. “The event ensures kids receive the preventive care they need while also providing our students with valuable patient care experience.”
