them to the office ’ s GKAS event for restorative treatment . Children not seen during the scheduled school exam but who heard about the event through advertisement also were seen on March 8 to receive a free exam / prophylaxis .
For any areas of need that were not
addressed on the GKAS Day , children were scheduled for a follow-up to receive those services free of charge . A total of more than $ 2,000 in services is estimated to be donated for treatment of those who will be seen for follow-up care .
The children who attended the event also enjoyed visits with Timmy the Tooth and the Lebanon County Dairy Maid and Miss . The special guests informed children of the important role dairy foods play in establishing good oral health .
