Students from the Union Star Elementary School smile happily after having a dental screening, provided by a local dentist, and then having fluoride varnish applied to their teeth for the prevention of tooth decay.
Dr. Thomas Courtney, DDS a Stewartsville dentist in DeKalb County had graciously offered his time to provide these dental screenings to the students in this rural school where dental care is not easily accessed. Students from both the Elementary School as well as the High School took part in this event. Dental screenings can detect problems early and by referring children for treatment in a timely manner can prevent future complications. Pictured above is Dr. Courtney and some of the smiling faces from this event.
