Students ‘uplift the people’

Dental and dental hygiene students were ‘uplifting the people’ through their Sharing Smiles Day annual event in April 2017.

Tarwinder Rai - 1 May 2017

Sharing Smiles Day events are a part of Oral Health, Total Health (OHTH) - a Federal Non-Profit Organization led by students and faculty from dentistry faculties across Canada with a mission to advocate, educate and improve the oral health care for persons with special needs.

The event was the first one organized by the newly formed Alberta chapter. The day is meant to be informative and fun with opportunities for positive interactions where the attitudinal barriers between dental students and persons with special needs can be removed and positive relationships fostered.
