130 STUDENTS OF LEOMINSTER HIGH SCHOOL SIGNED TO GET A FREE DENTAL CLEANING

                                                            Community Health Connections sent some of  their dental professionals to Leominster High School to offer their  services to students who applied for a dental cleaning. 

They set up shop for 9 days in C-Wing of Leominster High as part of their outreach program to the local schools. 

Students were called during class time and the process was really fast, cleaning took around 5 to 8 minutes.

However, with Covid cases on the rise around us, Dental Hygienist Louise Nally, Dental Assistant Nicole Guertin, and Dentist Dr. Peter R. Jengo took precautions. 

They always wear their mask as well as an extra face shield. They all used hand sanitizer and sanitized the chair and everything they used after each  student. 

“First of all, we are all vaccinated, we followed all the recommendations for sterilization and the guideline and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guideline to prevent disease,” said Nally.

By following those recommendations and being already vaccinated they felt safe and they enjoyed doing their work and helping students. 

“Take care of your teeth because it is a lifelong thing and if you neglect them now, you will be so sorry that you did when you are older,” added Nally.

Community Health Connections has offices located in Fitchburg, Gardner, and Leominster, and they offer dental, medical, and behavioral health services.
