Eastern Gateway partners with Give Kids A Smile to host a dental clinic

Eastern Gateway Community College is partnering with Eastern Ohio Dental Society to hold its annual "Give Kids A Smile" event on March 2 and 3, 2023.

This event will be a dental clinic for youth in the Steubenville and surrounding areas. It will be located in Room 1500 at 4000 Sunset Blvd in Steubenville, Ohio.

"We're really excited to be able to partner with Give Kids A Smile to provide no cost dental care to kids in the Steubenville area," Eastern Gateway Community College President, Michael Geoghegan said.

"Give Kids A Smile" is a national movement through which free dental health services are provided by student, faculty and volunteer dental professionals. Children up to the age of 12 will receive dental cleanings, exams, x-rays, fluoride treatments and filings at no cost.

"According to the American Dental Association and CDC, the most common chronic disease of childhood in the United States is dental decay. ... By teaming up with Give Kids A Smile we are able to provide a critical service to kids and give back to our community," Geoghegan said.

Eastern Gateway is a state, public, accredited institution of higher learning dedicated to providing a debt-free, college degree to students from across Ohio and other locations, with two main campuses in Steubenville and Youngstown.
