Give Kids a Smile Day Temple University 2025
I had the opportunity to volunteer at Give Kids a Smile Day through the Temple Dental Pediatrics Club. This event took place April 17, 2025 at the Pediatric Clinic at Temple Dental. Here, my fellow volunteers and I engaged children in fun activities and games as they waited for their appointments in the waiting room. I learned how to help children ease their nerves before entering into the clinic for their appointments. They really had a great time and opened up to us and it made me realize how important it is to be approachable because children are intimidated by dentists most of the time. This is related to my career goals because I am interested in the pediatric speciality.
