Give Veterans A Smile Day! We have gone to the dogs...therapy dogs that is. Another successful Volunteer Project for Union City Dental Care Center (University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry) and Southern Alameda County Dental Society (SACDS). Therapy dogs helped to lower anxiety for everyone and helped simulate dental hygiene and varnish to a young child.
We were able to honor our local and some not too local heroes (Veterans) with free dental services by our volunteer community dentists and their teams, AEGD residents, dental students, hygiene students, our staff and faculty, dental assistants, pre-dent students and high school volunteers.
Loved working with the Veteran Stand down folks, Blue Star Moms, Las Positas College group, Bay PLS (vaccination van) to provide vaccinations, Arklign dental lab, and many others to get this project together...
A deep realization that some of our Veterans have great challenges in getting dental care. Thank you to all our Veterans for your service to our nation and all our volunteers for giving of your time and heart today!
