“Most people with disabilities have difficulty finding accessible parking spaces in their communities – and many skip medical, professional, and social outings because they are worried they will not be able to find parking,” said Steve Lieberman, Senior Director, Advocacy & Policy with United Spinal Association, a membership organization of nearly 70,000 and a plaintiff in the case. “Accessible parking is essential to the independence and well-being of people with disabilities, including our members with spinal cord injuries and disorders.”

Horace Wells saw a public demonstration of the effects of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and recognized its medical possibilities. Wells reported feeling no pain, marking a major milestone in the development of surgical anesthesia.
He asked a colleague to pull one of his teeth out while he was under the influence of laughing gas and said he didn’t feel a thing, effectively introducing general anesthesia to dentistry. Now that’s dedication!
He proved that nitrous oxide could be used to perform painless dental surgery, declaring it a "new era in tooth pulling".

The University of Florida College of Dentistry recently held its annual event that offers free dental sealants, dental exams and fluoride treatments for ages 1 to 17.

Joseph Swanson, a first-year University of Florida dental student and president for the Class of 2029, could see that two young girls looked worried when they first arrived at Super Sealant Saturday at the UF College of Dentistry in Gainesville. But after being guided into the event's carnival-style activities, their hesitation quickly faded.

"It felt really nice to be able to pull them into the carnival, show them some of the activities and they started to get excited," Swanson said. "I could see that they were losing sense of that fear."

Moments like that are what Super Sealant Saturday aims to create. The annual event at the UF College of Dentistry offers free dental sealants, dental exams and fluoride treatments for ages 1 to 17, pairing preventive care with games and activities designed to help young patients feel comfortable in a dental setting.
