By the end of Children’s Dental Day 132 children left the UNMC College of Dentistry on Feb. 1 with healthy smiles.
Those healthy smiles translated into 1,052 dental procedures, ranging from pulpectomies to extractions to cleanings and fillings at a value of $100,650.
Since 2001, the College of Dentistry has treated more than 6,000 children and provided services valued at more than $3 million to low income and underserved children in the state.

This year, children from Lincoln, Omaha, Hastings, Grand Island, Columbus, Fairbury, Fremont, Crete, Stanton and York attended.
The youths not only received care from dental and dental hygiene students but health screenings from students from the UNMC College of Nursing.
