On January 30, 2024 Drs. Navreet Sidhu and Sunita Joshi did an Oral Hygiene presentation at Munden Park Public School which is a PLASP Centre. The process to get there was a long one as there were police checks and insurance requirements that had to be met before the meeting could be planned. They had a very warm welcome from the staff members Rehana and Fetemeh upon arrival. There were nearly 20 children all under age 5 years with their parent or grandparent in attendance. The children were so excited to be brushing the "dinosaur's teeth" and there was one little girls who was so excited that she wanted to volunteer for everything. The parents had many interesting questions and stayed well beyond the presentation. Everyone received goodie bags with toothbrush, floss and toothpaste.
" I would like to express gratitude to Dr. Joshi and Dr. Navreet, on behalf of our entire EarlyON team for such an informative Dental Presentation. Families attended the presentation were benefited with your valuable dental advice. Once again, many thanks for giving precious time for Dental Presentation at Munden Park EarlyON". RECE Facilitator.
