Happy Smiles for Happy Kids
A University of California - Davis Project
Davis PDS will be giving a dental health workshop and hand out goodie bags with dental care products to 3rd graders in the Davis area!
Third graders in the Davis area will gain more knowledge about the importance of dental health in a fun and stimulating manner through a fun and engaging presentation made by our representatives to different 3rd grade classes in the Davis area. The 3rd graders will also receive free dental care products such as toothbrushes, toothpastes, and dental floss to get them off to a great start!
Who is involved?Officers and members of the Davis Pre-Dental Society, Third grade teachers and students as well as interested parents in the Davis area
When will the project happen?Spring 2013
Where will the project happen?In the classrooms of Elementary schools in Davis
Why does this project matter?This project matters because it promotes early dental health and prevention of tooth cavities which is a growing issue nowadays. Since the increased rate of obesity in today's youth correlates to the growing occurrence of tooth decay, we believe education and prevention is the best way to keep our community healthy.
How will the funds be used?All the funds raised will solely go into purchasing materials for the goodie bags, literature that goes with the goodie bags, and materials that will be used for presentations
