Service
This semester, UF Pre-Dental Society continued to give back to the Alachua County community through service projects including Tooth Fairy Team, Suture Squad, and Center for Independent Living. Tooth Fairy Team has been successful, reaching many schools and teaching children how to care for their pearly-whites! PDS has also returned to GRACE Marketplace throughout the 2017-2018 school year to hand out hygiene packs and teach the community about oral care.
