On Friday, the UNC Adams School of Dentistry hosted Give Kids A Smile Day. The event, aimed at increasing accessibility and awareness for dental care, provided free dental exams, cleanings and oral health education for over 180 underserved children in North Carolina.⁠
⁠
If a child has dental pain, he or she might not do well in school, might not thrive and could have lower self-esteem, said Jessica Lee, chairperson of pediatric and public health at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry. Lee said preventing these risks from dental issues is a key reason for hosting Give Kids a Smile Day.⁠
⁠
The project was largely planned by the UNC dental students who participated in the hands-on pediatric care event for children who do not typically have access to health care.⁠
⁠
On Give Kids A Smile Day, the students focused on making the day engaging and educational for children by giving out free electric toothbrushes and encouraging kids to smile for a picture with Rameses.⁠
