Give Kids a Smile Day
The USC School of Dentistry and its Mobile Dental Clinic are regular participants in "Give Kids a Smile Day," the American Dental Association's annual program to help address the challenges that low-income and disabled children face in accessing dental care.
The 2007 event (pictured here) was co-sponsored by the USC School of Dentistry, Young & Healthy and the Pasadena Public Health Department WIC Program. It focused on an often-untargeted audience: families of children under five. Here, 19-month-old Angel is being coaxed by USC pediatric dentistry resident Amy Brandon to open wide for his first dental exam.
