In school dental care

Kalissa Kennedy, staff writer

As of yesterday our school partnered with Big Smiles and now offers in school dental care. Plus you don’t even have to pay. It is very accessible, and is at a common place for you. Performed by local professionals, this dental procedure is the full experience. It offers a complete dental exam, x-rays, cleanings, fluoride, and sealants.

A great idea, it makes keeping Hunter’s students healthier more convenient, and it is very affordable. It accepts all insurance, and is done by professionals. It is a great way to make our school a more family oriented place.

Visiting the Big Smiles website you will see that their main goal is to keep children healthy. It states, “Big Smiles is an in-school dental program designed to address today’s dental crisis and keep children healthy.” They go on to say that this a great way to get you dentist check-ups because you will be in school more and therefore you can grow academically.

Over all this was a great idea on the administrators’ part. It is going to help our school grow and make our student/parent/staff community stronger.
