November 6, 2019 - In celebration of Veteran’s Day, Touro College of Dental Medicine (TCDM) teamed up with the Ninth District Dental Association for its 2nd Annual Smiles for Veterans event, a day of free oral health care for veterans, military personnel and their family members.
More than 60 participants turned out for the festivities, which kicked off with a heartfelt performance of the national anthem by TCDM’s acapella group, the Chromatic Scalers. Veterans and their families enjoyed a breakfast reception with entertainment, giveaways and student-led educational activities aimed at encouraging good oral health practices. Practitioners from New York Medical College’s new Family Health Center, located on premises, joined to offer blood pressure screenings, height, weight and body mass index readings. Senator Pete Harckham visited Touro Dental Health to show his support for the cause, along with leadership from the New York State Dental Foundation (NYSDF) who provided support for the event.
