PARAMUS, N.J. – Bergen Community College dental hygiene program students like Delsi Barrera, of Nyack, N.Y., gave more than three-dozen children – and parents – a reason to grin Feb. 7 at the school’s 12^th annual “Give Kids a Smile Day.” Patients such as nine-year-old Laila Kelley Gold, of Maplewood, received free oral exams, cleanings – and the occasional filling – in the school’s dental hygiene clinic.

Bergen’s dental hygiene program offers low-cost oral healthcare available to the community throughout the year.
