Making Dental Health Fun & Educational!

Fishman Pediatric Dentistry was on the road for Dental Health Month! We visited Duval Charter School at Coastal! The children had a great time engaging in this educational experience about good dental hygiene practices.

Dr. Andone and his assistant turned important lessons on oral hygiene into an interactive and fun experience, teaching the children the best brushing techniques and identifying cavity-causing snacksβ€”all through fun games and hands-on activities!

It surely was a memorable day filled with learning, excitement, smiles, and laughter. Our gratitude to Duval Charter School for having us!
