IS 364 Students Receive Dental Care

By: Pamela Stern

The students of IS 364 had a visit on November 30th from dentists of the dental office Smile New York. As a community school one of the services that is offered to the students is free dental care. The dentist visits the school once during the school year as long as the school has a minimum of 25 families signed up to receive this service.

These services were provided to all IS 364 students. Thirty-nine students received dental care services which were provided free of charge.

“Today was a successful event.  The ability to serve students with a much-needed service is fulfilling.  Students were provided with a full cleaning and examination.  If cavities were found they were also filled on site.  It was amazing to see a classroom turn into a full dental practice, “ said Principal Fraser-Edmund.
