The Dental Medicine School of Ana G. Méndez University (UAGM) will offer free oral health services to veterans on Wednesday, November 18, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at its Gurabo campus facilities. The event, called "Cuidando la sonrisa de nuestros héroes" (Caring for our heroes’ smile), aims to give veterans access to preventive dental services and to promote awareness of oral health care.
During the session, participants will receive dental exams, X-rays, oral cancer screening evaluations, oral health education and dental care products. According to the university, the services will let participants better understand their oral health condition and receive guidance on practices to maintain a healthy smile. "For the Dental Medicine School, taking part in this initiative represents an opportunity to put our knowledge and resources at the service of those who have served our country. We are pleased to offer veterans access to oral health services and to help raise awareness of the importance of dental care as part of overall well-being," said Dr. Beverly Escalona, dean of the UAGM Dental Medicine School.
