February is Dental Hygiene Month, and Delaware Valley Elementary School had a very special visitor to share information about this important health topic.
Judy Amato, a dental hygienist from Dr. Seth Horn’s and Dr. Dide Tosyali’s office in Port Jervis, visited DVES.
DVES students and staff would like to thank Dr. Seth Horn and Dr. Dide Tosyali for the gift bags of toothpaste and toothbrushes, and Amato (who visits the school every February) for a very informative and enjoyable demonstration of good dental hygiene practices.
