Event design? This will be relatable and FUN. Development and technique will be shared to build your website, systems, and more.

Colgate's mobile dental vans measure 32 feet long, nearly the size of a mobile home, and features friendly visuals to help create a fun and less intimidating dental ‘screening experience’ to kids in rural and urban communities. With two child-sized dental chairs aboard, the volunteer dental professionals were able to screen two children at a time. The average dental screening lasts approximately two minutes. The second and third graders received free dental check-ups, treatment referrals (if needed), and learning materials that included a tube of Colgate kid’s toothpaste, a Colgate kids toothbrush and brushing instructions. Our 2 volunteer dental health professionals were Dr. William Walls and Dr. Daniel Cox. On site we had 8 Links Volunteers, but the whole chapter was involved in securing dental health professionals and making sure we had photo documentation and publicity. Three of our “My Life Matters” participants came through the van to get screened. A big thank you to the volunteers who helped make our mobile dental van a success!
