Sealant Day, February 26, 2010

On Saturday, February 26, GSDHS and SCDHS dental hygienists, local dentists, and students from Seattle Central CC and Shoreline CC provided dental exams, sealants and fluoride treatments to 49 children during the GSDHS Sealant Day, which took place at Shoreline Community College. Forty nine children were seen, and 312 sealants were placed. With exams and fluoride treatments, that translates into almost $27,000 worth of free dental care.
