BRYN MAWR The dental hygiene program at Harcum College announced it will offer free oral examinations, sealants, fluoride treatments, and health-care instructions for children ages 6 to 16 at its annual Sealant Day next Monday.
The event coincides with the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and is set to be held at the Cohen Dental Center on Harcum's Bryn Mawr campus.
The year marks the 11th year of the free program, in which registered dental hygienists, area dentists, and Harcum dental hygiene students provide free dental hygiene services to children who have preregistered.
It is cosponsored by the Pennsylvania Dental Hygienists' Association.
"Sealant Monday is an important initiative for us to not only advance the clinical experience for our students but also to provide a much needed community resource," Jean Byrnes-Ziegler, director of the dental hygiene program at Harcum, said in a statement.
Families must call ahead for an appointment by contacting the Cohen Dental Center at 610-526-6113 or 610-526-6015. Appointments are being accepted for 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 1 p.m. until all slots are full.
