DECA Dental Group provides dental screenings and treatments for hundreds of youth in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex
Dallas, TX, January 31, 2017 (Newswire.com) - DECA Dental Group partnered with Pat & Emmitt Smith Charities to host a dental screening for over three hundred 3rd – 5th-grade students at George H.W. Bush Elementary School in Addison, Texas.
DECA sent a team of board certified dentists and hygienists to provide oral screenings and converted the school’s gymnasium into a large dental operatory.
"As DECA Dental Group continues to make strides within the community, we are very appreciative of the opportunity and platform the Pat and Emmitt Smith Charities has allowed us to embark on as we continue to forge long and lasting relationships."
Dr. Sulman Ahmed, CEO & Founder
"DECA Dental is a local dental company that believes in giving back to the community. We truly believe that every child should have access to great dental care and we want to do our part to make that a reality. Good medical and dental health is a big part of building a child’s self-confidence, which is key to them being successful in school and in life," said Dr. Sulman Ahmed, CEO and Founder.
Both parents and students were educated on proper dental care and hygiene and were offered an opportunity to receive ongoing dental treatment at the dental offices, free of charge.
Parents were educated by staff members and doctors while their children took part in several different activities such as face painting. Additionally, there was a live performance from DECA Dental staff members, illustrating the importance of brushing and flossing followed by a Q&A session concerning dental care.
