The event<\/p>\n<p>will provide 125 underserved children from Norfolk and Fremont free dental<\/p>\n<p>care and education.<\/p>\n<p>The event, held twice a year, is an opportunity for the college to help<\/p>\n<p>underserved Nebraskans, as well as provide an opportunity for dental and<\/p>\n<p>dental hygiene students to gain more clinical experience. Children from<\/p>\n<p>low income, uninsured and homeless families, will receive dental exams,<\/p>\n<p>cleaning, fluoride treatments, sealants, restorative work, and emergency<\/p>\n<p>care as needed.<\/p>\n<p>The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the college in Lincoln,<\/p>\n<p>at 40th and Holdrege streets. Dental services will be donated by 200 UNMC<\/p>\n<p>dental and dental hygiene students, 56 UNMC faculty and dental residents<\/p>\n<p>and 40 staff. Other participants include the Hope Medical Outreach Coalition<\/p>\n<p>and volunteers from the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, dental<\/p>\n<p>hygiene faculty and students from Central Community College in Hastings<\/p>\n<p>and dental assisting students from Southeast Community College.<\/p>\n<p>This event underscores the need in our at-risk population of children<\/p>\n<p>in Nebraska, said John Reinhardt, D.D.S., dean of the UNMC College of<\/p>\n<p>Dentistry. This care will address many of their oral health problems,<\/p>\n<p>as well as teach them good dental hygiene for prevention of tooth decay.<\/p>\n<p>Our students also receive an excellent clinical experience and learn about<\/p>\n<p>the importance of giving back to the community.<\/p>\n<p>Dental Day also will provide children with educational and entertainment<\/p>\n<p>activities designed to teach the importance of good dental habits. Dental<\/p>\n<p>characters and clowns will entertain children with games, including those<\/p>\n<p>that teach good snacks versus bad, how soda pop affects their teeth and<\/p>\n<p>what decay looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch, and snacks such as carrots, popcorn and apples, will be provided.<\/p>\n<p>Children also will receive a bag of items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste,<\/p>\n<p>floss, activity books and stickers. Interpreters also will be available.<\/p>\n<p>Financial sponsors of Childrens Dental Day are: Ameritas Group Dental,<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska Dental Hygienists&#8217; Association and the Nebraska Dental Association.<\/p>\n<p>Donors of dental and other supplies are DENTSPLY, Oral B, Proctor and Gamble<\/p>\n<p>(Crest), Patterson Dental Supply, Inc., G.C.
