Teens' Health Among Topics for Dental Hygiene Session, Reunion

The Dental Hygiene Program teamed with Alumni Relations on Friday to provide a Dental Hygiene Reunion and continuing education session. Close to 100 attendees returned to Penn College for the event, which included a session by Lee Somerville, a member of the American Dental Hygienists Association, American Dental Education Association and American Academy of Dental Hygiene, on “Teenagers – What Their Mouths are Telling You But They’re Not: Practical Information on Teen Health Issues.” The event concluded with lunch in Le Jeune Chef Restaurant. Topics of Somerville’s talk included  oral and overall health issues associated with cola/sports-drink consumption, eating disorders, obesity and substance abuse. The session was presented through a grant from Philips Oral Health.
