Dr. Cartwright Helps Boy SCouts & Girl Scouts earn their Dental Merit Badge

Over the past several years boy scouts and girl scouts have attended dental events hosted by Dr. Gary Cartwright. They learn about good brushing, healthy foods, basic tooth structure, what causes cavities, gingivitis, periodontal disease and the damage smoking and chewing tobacco cause to teeth

The scouts are able to drill into actual teeth and they can have panoramic x-rays taken showing their full mouth. Finally, they get to finish off the day with pizza.

Great information is discussed about how to care for your teeth so they last a lifetime and who knows, maybe this inspires a scout to pursue the field of dentistry or orthodontics!

Let us know if you have a boy scout or girl scout troop who want to earn a dental / health badge. We would be happy to schedule an event for your troop!
