Dental Hygiene Goodness!

One of my favirite classes this semester was my Community Dental Health class. Every Monday, we would go out into the community and do some kind of service related to dental hygiene. As a class, we went to a bunch of elementary schools and taught the kids about brushing and flossing their teeth and eating foods that will make their teeth "happy"!!! We also went to a couple nursing homes and cleaned the patients' teeth/dentures- that's an experience if there ever was one! haha! My favorite place we went to was a school for handicapped kids. They were the cutest, happiest, and most grateful kids ever! They laughed at all our jokes, loved our puppet show and loved when we taught them how to brush their teeth. I especially loved the kid in the pictures. He was so happy and loved having us there. He kept telling me "Good job!!" and clapping for us. He was so cute! I am so happy I have picked a profession where I can serve and make a difference in my community!
