Student National Dental Association
Dental Fair at the Pathmark Shopping Center

by Lezli Levene Harvell (Class of 2006)

On November 1, 2003, the Student National Dental Association (SNDA) of New Jersey Dental School in association with the Colgate Bright Smiles Bright Futures program, sponsored a dental fair at the Pathmark Shopping Center on Bergen Street. SNDA received a great deal of support from the NJDS community. Student volunteers assisted by face painting, giving out popcorn, handing out helium balloons, distributing free dental supplies and performing brushing and flossing demonstrations. In addition NJDS faculty and alumni screened children from the community on the Colgate Bright Smiles van. We serviced in excess of fifty children. It was an educational and fun event for all those who participated.
