Dental Medicine
students Ross Gabriel, right,
and Jon Peterson provide
restorative care as part of the
S.C. Dental Association's Dental
Access Days and S.C. Mission
held Aug. 17-18 in Columbia.
Senior and junior dental
students and eight faculty
participated in this event that
provided free services to more
than 2,700 people. 
Students Max
Frawley and Alison Llewelyn were
part of many dental teams that
treated 1,600 patients. It's
estimated that as much as
$700,000 worth of fillings,
teeth cleanings, root canals,
extractions and partial dentures
were performed during the annual
event. According to Dr. J. Mark
Barry, associate dean for
clinical affairs, College of
Dental Medicine, MUSC's
involvement with Dental Access
Day is paramount in the
education of dental students.
The event is an opportunity for
students to provide dental
services to South Carolinians
while giving back to the
community.|
