Dental Decay: Pediatric Dentistry

Dental Hygiene Dept: On Sunday Maryam Amin, the division head of pediatric dentistry, took her mobile clinic to the Millwoods Sri Guru Singh Sabha Society to give free exams to kids of South Asian descent between the ages of three and six, according to CTV. One parent taking part says dental hygiene has been lost in the shuffle since she and her family immigrated from India nine months ago and a University of Alberta professor in the faculty of medicine and dentistry is taking an innovative approach toward improving the quality of early childhood health in immigrant communities. Those in charge of the initiative estimate half of Canadian newcomers suffer from dental decay. Sunday marked the first visit to the chair for dozens of local visitors. As reported in the news.
