In preparation for a new school year, hundreds of Utah kids received a free dental check from a local university today.
One study estimates upwards of 17 million children suffer from untreated tooth decay, which can be detrimental and painful when trying to learn in a classroom all day.
"It’s an opportunity for us to connect with the community and bring a couple smiles to kids faces today,” said Kylee Lin, who is a student at Roseman Dental. "When we’re normally students and normally in clinic we kind a lack a little bit of with the kids, so this is amazing,” explained Copper Lynch, who is a student at Roseman.
