Although handwashing seems like a simple task, there are so many that don’t wash properly and some that don’t wash at all 😱‼️

Handwashing Awareness Month is important because of this. It is important to educate people on the benefits of handwashing and the harmful impacts not washing your hands can cause👍

------------------------------------
Aunque lavarse las manos parece sencillo, hay muchas personas que no se lavan bien y algunas que ni siquiera se lavan 😱‼️

Por eso, el Mes de la Concientización sobre el Lavado de Manos es importante. Es fundamental educar a la gente sobre los beneficios del lavado de manos y los efectos nocivos que puede causar no hacerlo👍

When you come in contact with germs, you can become infected just by touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. And once you’re infected, it’s usually just a matter of time before those around you come down with the same illness. So, don’t underestimate the power of handwashing! 😷❤️‍🩹

The time you spend at the sink could save you trips to the doctor’s office👏

------------------------------------------
Al entrar en contacto con gérmenes, puedes infectarte con solo tocarte los ojos, la nariz o la boca. Y una vez infectado, suele ser solo cuestión de tiempo antes de que quienes te rodean se contagien de la misma enfermedad. ¡Así que no subestimes el poder del lavado de manos! 😷❤️‍🩹

El tiempo que pasas en el lavabo podría ahorrarte visitas al médico👏

Boost handwashing by placing reminders by sinks and in bathrooms that remind people to wash their hands! 🤲💦

Printing signs that say “please your hands” or “wash hands before leaving” and placing them on bathroom mirrors are a good way to encourage thorough handwashing 😉

--------------------------------------
¡Fomenta el lavado de manos colocando recordatorios cerca de los lavabos y en los baños que recuerden a la gente lavarse las manos! 🤲💦

Imprimir letreros que digan "Cuidado con las manos" o "Lávate las manos antes de salir" y colocarlos en los espejos del baño es una buena manera de fomentar un lavado de manos minucioso 😉

On Tuesday, November 18th we celebrated the unveiling of our Smile Bus Mobile Dental vehicle. 🦷🚐❇️

Our Dental Health Outreach Program began operating the Smile Van two years ago within the Santa Barbara Unified School District to provide dental screenings, fluoride varnish applications, and follow-up comprehensive dental care to students who needed treatment. Nationally, over 34 million school hours are missed each year due to dental-related treatment; with the Smile Van we hope to positively change this issue. The school-based program benefits all parties involved. Students spend less time out of class, parents don’t have to call off work, and we can serve more members of the community in our brick-and-mortar clinics.

After a successful first year screening all nine of SBUSD’s elementary schools and two of its middle schools, we expanded our services to Goleta and began serving Goleta Union School District in the 2024 – 2025 school year.

Today, our Dental Outreach Department provides a combination of dental screenings and comprehensive dental treatments to 18 of Santa Barbara and Goleta’s elementary schools and many more! Our Smile Van has provided services to just over 2,000 students and over 7,000 students with our dental kits and oral hygiene education.

Thank you to all the local officials, SBNC supporters and friends, and SBNC leadership and staff that celebrated our expansion of mobile dental care in the Greater Santa Barbara Community.
