Lincoln, Neb. On Friday, March 28, the UNMC College of Dentistry held its annual Children’s Dental Day from Lincoln, bringing together nearly 300 UNMC dental, dental hygiene and nursing students to provide dental care to children who quite often have little or no access to important dental services such as cleaning teeth, filling cavities and addressing other more serious dental issues.
Dental services were provided under the direction of faculty from the UNMC Colleges of Dentistry and Nursing, and with support of the college staff.
In all, the special event provided free dental care to more than 200 children from Lexington, Columbus, Crete, Grand Island, Hastings and York.
Since 2001, more than 6,000 children have received treatment at Children’s Dental Day, and more than $3 million in dental services have been provided.
