Ms. Callahan's first-grade class benefited from a visit by students enrolled in the UAMS Dental Hygiene program. The students learned about the importance of oral hygiene and proper teeth care. The UAMS dental hygienist addressed their questions and allowed them to practice brushing on tooth models. The students were provided with goody bags containing a toothbrush and toothpaste!
