The UMA Bangor Campus Dental Health Programs hosted its annual Give Kids a Smile® Day event on Friday, February 21st. The 2025 event was a resounding success, with a full day of patients, dental assisting and dental hygiene students gaining valuable pediatric experience, and faculty and staff volunteers giving back to the community.

The following services were provided by 12 UMA Senior Dental hygiene and three Dental Assisting students and they were supervised by our UMA Dental Health Programs faculty and staff: 

  • Dental Cleanings and dental examinations
  • Dental x-rays
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Dental sealants 
  • Oral Health and nutrition education 
  • a Goodie bag to take home with: toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss 

Thank you to everyone who participated in this fun and important event!
