Dental Community Service II

Catalog description

In Dental Community Service II & III, second-year dental students learn about topics relevant to service in dentistry and the larger community. Students visit elementary, junior high and high school classrooms to provide age-appropriate health promotion education on oral disease prevention, nutrition, tobacco cessation, and drug avoidance. Each student participates in one half-day rotation in the winter and spring quarters. To further learn about the healthcare needs of the community, independent participation in one dental-related community event during the year is also required.
