Summer Penn State Special Olympics
I volunteered at the Penn State Summer Special Olympics “Special Smiles” event on June 5th and 6th, 2025. Each athlete had the chance to receive a dental screening, fluoride treatment, and a fabricating a mouthguard for their sport. Alongside other Pediatric Club members, I helped provide these services: performing screenings, applying fluoride, and making mouthguards for every participant. It was a really meaningful experience for me, not only because I was able to help patients who might not otherwise have access to dental care, but also because it was my first time treating my own patients as a rising D3.
