Lakeside dental screenings

Community Health Center Dental Hygienist Holly Blick examines a student at Lakeside Elementary during a visit to the school Thursday morning. Dental screenings take place annually at USD 250 elementary schools. Cory Gibson, assistant superintendent, said, “In hard economic times like these, many of our families cannot afford a dental checkup or the insurance to help pay for a basic checkup, so we see this as a way to provide an outreach service through our schools.” SEAN STEFFEN/THE MORNING SUN
