Disney music blasted inside the University of Alaska Anchorage dental clinic on Friday morning as a parade of dental hygiene students — dressed in tooth and toothpaste costumes — pranced around performing preventive dental care on children.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - ,” Program Director Carri Shamburger said. “We are providing oral health care for children in youth, ages four to age 17 today.”
“Anchorage especially is very diverse, and to have the opportunity to work with a different culture is always good for our students to be able to go out in the community and provide great oral health care,” Shamburger said. “They don’t get medical or dental health. So, here at the UAA we can help those patients that don’t have dental. That way we can, you know, improve their smiles,” said UAA dental hygiene student Nadia Tolmacheva.
“So, I worked today on my niece. She is 4 years old,” Tolmacheva said. “She was a little, tiny girl but she did so good. She let me clean her teeth and I was so happy to do that.”
