PDA member Dr . Jacqueline Caster , DMD , PharmD , of Cumberland Valley Pediatric Dentistry in Camp Hill presented Davin with his framed winning poster and monetary prize .
“ It is extremely important for today ' s youth to actively be involved in their overall health , said Dr . Caster . “ NCDHM is one way for children to get involved and learn more specifically about their dental health . I was fortunate to spend some time in early May with the third-grade classes at Dillsburg Elementary School and provide some helpful dental tips and recommendations for their homecare as well as present the winners of this year ' s NCDHM poster contest . It was amazing to see how excited the children were in asking questions and wanting to learn more about taking care of their teeth ."
