“This event provides our students hands-on dental experience while simultaneously addressing a vital health need in our community,” said Fortis College in Orange Park Campus President Wyman Dickey. “We look forward to raising awareness for proper pediatric oral care and bringing the Orange Park community together – one smile at a time.”
According to the college, all dental-assisting students participating in the event are supervised by an on-site dentist.
