Back-to-School Health Fair

Ibn Sina hosted a Back-to-School Health Fair Friday August 24, 2012 at their Wilcrest Pediatric Clinic location.  They invited Greater Houston Dental Hygienists' Society to present a table including educational pamphlets on one end and the "Meal-of-Fortune" on the other.  The children and their parents all enjoyed using this enticing game to learn about snacks that are healthy for their teeth.  We handed out toothpaste provided by Crest so all visitors of the health fair could enjoy free samples. This is a great example of how the Greater Houston Dental Hygienists' Society is acting in the community to provide information about prevention of caries, the most prevalent infectious disease among children of our nation.
