Our team wanted to provide oral screening for the underserved community of downtown San Francisco for our PIP project. We originally planned to do just oral screening and oral health instructions, but we seeked to do more to do more to make a difference in the lives of others. Accordingly, we decided to provide fluoride gel as well, to strengthen the teeth of those we treated in the community.
As the largest elementary school in the city of San Francisco, Gordon J.

Within the recent years, it has started to gain more interest and implementation in the field of endodontics as well.
