In this episode of Somos Sunnyside, we highlight an essential service making a difference in our community—mobile dentistry in Sunnyside schools. Our guests, Lilly Meda and Dr. Aram Abramian from General Dentistry 4 Kids, share how their program brings preventative dental care directly into school classrooms, ensuring students receive necessary check-ups without missing valuable class time or requiring parents to take time off work.

Since first partnering with Sunnyside Unified School District in 2009, General Dentistry 4 Kids has evolved from using an RV-based clinic to setting up full dental stations inside schools, creating a more comfortable and familiar environment for children. Their preventative services include X-rays, exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants—all aimed at keeping students healthy and ready to learn.

Importantly, their program is accessible to all students, accepting all types of insurance and providing free preventative care to those without coverage. Beyond school-based care, they also support the community through oral hygiene education and their Caring4Community donation initiative.

Join us as we discuss the impact of this invaluable program and how it removes barriers to dental care, ensuring every child can maintain a healthy smile and focus on their education. Tune in and learn more about how General Dentistry 4 Kids is keeping Sunnyside students smiling!
