EP Dentistry visited Santiago Rodriguez Head Start Center, where 35 children received free dental exams and treatments. This successful clinic was organized to support busy parents who may not have had the opportunity to bring their children in for regular dental check-ups, ensuring their children’s dental health remains a priority.
Through engaging activities, Head Start children were given a fun, interactive presentation on dental hygiene as they learned about the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental care. The interactive clinic helped children become familiar with the routine of regular dental visits, reducing potential anxiety around the exam and empowering them with lifelong dental hygiene habits.
“Establishing good dental care practices early in life is essential for children's long-term health and development.” Said Adriana Davila, Center Manager of Santiago Rodriguez Head Start. Head Start and EP Dentistry recognize that supporting parents in these practices, from home routines to dental visits, can have a positive impact on children's overall well-being.
By collaborating to bring dental services directly to the center, both organizations work toward a healthier future for Head Start children.
