On March 22 and 23, over 40 students and six faculty members of the Dental Hygiene Department participated in the Journey Through The Body. This event was sponsored by News Channel 13 and St. Peter’s Health Partners at Crossgates Mall.
Students and faculty volunteered their time to help educate the community on proper oral self care and good nutrition. They also dispensed supplies to the community (donated by St. Peter’s) with proper education on home use. Participants were able to practice hands on with tooth models and toothbrushes, play games with healthy snacks versus unhealthy snacks, learn about what causes tooth decay and much more. The experience was very positive for the dental hygiene students and those who attended. The students thought that the interactive exhibits really helped educate the community. Those who volunteered stayed longer then shifts planned on due to the excitement of helping others. It was a wonderful experience for all!
