A special thank you to Colgate-Palmolive Company and DentaQuest for their continued support of the CLF program and for investing in the development of our HDA leaders.

So grateful for the opportunity to talk about oral prevention in kindergarten today! 🦷✨

Healthy habits start early — from learning the right brushing technique and understanding “wiggly teeth,” to choosing tooth-friendly snacks and getting excited about new big kid teeth. Prevention truly is the key to confident, healthy smiles for life.

Proud to represent the Hispanic Dental Association – Michigan Chapter and continue our mission of education, community outreach, and promoting oral health awareness in the communities we serve. 💙

Thank you to the wonderful teachers and students for such a warm welcome! Little smiles today, bright futures tomorrow! 🌟🪥
