U.S. Navy Lt. Kathleen Parr, general practice resident at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Hospital Dentistry, let’s a child demonstrate a dental exam on her before switching roles at Child Development Center (CDC) on Naval Support Activity Bethesda. Riding on the annual observance of Children's Dental Health Month, the team will provide dental screenings to children ages 3 to 5, at five CDCs across the NCR. These efforts seek to promote awareness of dental practices and oral health among children, driving home the message of the significant role dental hygiene plays in overall health.
