KSF proudly examined and applied fluoride to the teeth of 215 children. We were generously invited to use the gym at the Central Presbyterian Church, Montclair, NJ. This was our second annual ‘Give Kids a Smile Day’ Oral Health Fair, a nationwide event run by the American Dental Association. Our patients, all Montclair area residents, enjoyed live entertainment, as well as a visit from the Mayor of Montclair. KSF offered ‘dental homes’ to all the young students and their families.

KSF visited Edgemont School in Montclair, 50 first-grade students enjoyed our Oral Care Workshop.

KSF brought our Pre/Postnatal Screening to Early Head Start in East Orange; we examined 16 pregnant and recent mothers and their children. We offered an Oral Education Workshop, including the prevention of oral disease in their unborn children. We referred these mothers (and dads) to ‘dental homes’.

Again at Early Head Start in East Orange, we examined 50 boys and girls under the age of three; again, we applied fluoride and referred them to ‘dental homes’. On the same day, we visited the East Orange Community Charter School, and we presented the KSF Oral Care Workshop to a class of 25 kindergartners.
