Last Saturday, UCLA's Pediatric Dentistry Club participated in a community health fair/screening in El Monte and I finally got to do more than Oral Hygiene Instruction (OHI)! Under the guidance of Dr. McCreedy from UCLA Pediatrics, us first years and second years also provided oral screenings.
Interestingly, our neighboring booths included a cosmetology station that offered free manicures, pedicures, and facials (not to mention a beauty kit raffle), as well as an exceedingly active Zumba troupe lead by a fearless leader. Quite an interesting sight.
Although we were initially expecting mainly children, we also saw a fair number of adults. In addition, the health fair also provided us with the fantastic experience to work with an extremely diverse and receptive community. I probably spoke, or attempted to speak, more Spanish and Chinese than I did English!
The hosts at the local church were also tremendously generous. The lunch was a pleasant surprise and the hospitality was like no other. Thank you, El Monte, for a rewarding day!
