First Year Dental Hygiene Students Visit Precious Pottery Preschool

The first year dental hygiene students went to Precious Pottery Preschool located at Broadway Church of Christ to promote National Children's Dental Health Month. The students talked to the children about good brushing/flossing habits, diet, and what to expect when they went to the dentist.
