Kay and Erika volunteering to place sealants on most willing second graders. Annette, a senior dental hygiene student from TWU, was a fabulous assistant.
A lot of kids have never been to a dentist and have cavities in some of their baby teeth. By placing sealants on the permanent molars, they have a much better chance of remaining free of decay well into their adult life.
The sealant program is sponsored by Christian Community Action. Grants and donations pay for supplies. Local dentists, hygienists, and assistants volunteer to check kids teeth and seal the ones most vulnerable to decay. It is a great way to support the community and educate kiddos about good oral health.
