More than 60 student and faculty volunteers provided free dental services to children at the Harvard School of Dental Medicineâs annual âGive Kids a Smileâ event on Saturday.
The event â which administers free dental cleanings, oral examinations, and referrals â is part of the national âGive Kids a Smileâ initiative that aims to increase accessibility to dental care.
Dental School students Ziwei Chen, Kadriye E. Hargett, and Jessica K. Murphree helped organize the event.
Chen, Hargett, and Murphree said organizers had to think of new ways to provide the same services while complying with the stateâs social distancing guidelines due to the pandemic.
