The Asian Dental Organization regularly visits the Golden Age center, making in effort to improve the health literacy of Chinese seniors in the Tufts Dental neighborhood.
Gina Kim (D22) reflects: “We gave a presentation about nutrition and oral health for the elderly at the Golden Age Center. Through this event, the seniors were able to learn how to better care for their oral health. I loved participating in this event as I learned to apply what I have used in my classes such as Oral Health Promotions to better communicate to the community on why our diet is an integral part of taking care of our teeth. I was surprised the elderly were very interested and actively participating in the discussion. Through this experience I realized once again how important my education at Tufts Dental is and was motivated to learn the best to my abilities the information presented in my classes.”
