The USC School of Dentistry helps hundreds of children start off the school year with healthier smiles by providing free oral screenings as part of the 2nd Annual Family Fun Dental Fair. California state law says parents are required to provide proof that their child has had a dental check up by May 31-st of the first year in kindergarten or first grade. The School of Dentistry opened its doors to members of the community and assisted parents in meeting the requirements of the new legislation. AB1433 is an important step in targeting a major children’s health crisis plaguing California.
