WNEP’s Chris Keating visited Penn College’s Dental Hygiene Clinic on Monday to report on the upcoming Sealant Saturday.
During the Nov. 4 event, second-year dental hygiene students will be joined by faculty and volunteer dentists and dental hygienists to provide free oral care to children and teens. Services include applying sealants, which are clear, protective plastic coatings that are placed on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent tooth decay. They typically cost around $35 per tooth.
While on campus, Keating interviewed students Mikey E. Strohm III, of Thompsontown; and Kayleigh A. Zuba, of Parkesburg; and Tianna L. Minnick, instructor of dental hygiene.
The story premiered during the ABC affiliate’s 7 p.m. newscast.
