Saturday February 16th
2013, Greater
Houston Dental Hygienist’s Society joined with San Jose Clinic and
students from UT and HCC for the bi-annual “Sealant Day”. 180 sealants on 39 kids children. Patterson donated
supplies
and sealant material was donated by ‘Sealants Across America’. Goodie
bags
given to the kids contained a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and sugar
free gum
provided by Crest & Oral-B, Butler and Wrigely.
A variety of pamphlets were given out at an
informational booth that was set up in the waiting room. This allowed
the parents to get information
on sealants while they waited. Pamphlets
were obtained for free from the National Institute of Dental and
Craniofacial
Research.
