Kids Oral Hygiene Drive

This was my fourth year in a row hosting this children’s dental health event where we visit schools and teach students about the importance of oral hygiene. Being able to consistently return to the community and build something that continues to grow each year means so much to me.

As President of USNDA, I raised $322 to support this initiative, which allowed us to purchase 300 toothbrushes and 200 tubes of toothpaste to create dental health goodie bags for elementary students. Preparing these bags was more than just organizing supplies. It was about making sure each child left with tools, knowledge, and confidence to take care of their smile.

It is amazing to be in a position where I can give back in a meaningful way. Moments like this remind me why I am passionate about dentistry and serving underserved communities. Seeing the impact firsthand strengthens my commitment to leadership, service, and improving access to oral health education.
