BUVSDA Reaches Out to Local Community

The Boston University chapter of the Vietnamese Student Dental Association (BUVSDA) provided dental education on December 14 at the Wang YMCA of Chinatown. Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine (BUGSDM) Associate Professor and Director of Minority Affairs Dr. Gregory Stoute assisted the BUVSDA volunteers in teaching the importance of oral health, baby bottle syndrome, nutrition, smoking, and correct brushing and flossing methods to approximately 400 attendees.

In an additional contribution to the community, BUVSDA hosted a clothing drive for Rosie’s Place from December 8 – 12. Through the drive they collected several jackets and other items, as well as monetary donations which they used to purchase much-needed socks for the residents of Rosie’s Place. BUVSDA is thankful to the BUGSDM community for their generosity.
