Hicksville Students Learn About Dental Health In Summer Program

As part of its ongoing slate of summer programs, the Hicksville Public School District welcomed Hicksville-based dentist Dr. Philip Tornatore for a presentation and demonstration on dental health and tooth care for students.

The special visit was hosted at Dutch Lane Elementary School and aligned with a curriculum based on “Helpers in the Community.” Students practiced the proper way to brush their teeth by demonstrating the circular motion on the teeth of a stuffed animal. They also received bags of dental-related goodies to take home with them.
