KidZdent in Old Bridge provided a day of free preventive and emergency dental care to children ages 12 and under on Feb. 2. As part of National Children’s Dental Health Month, Give Kids A Smile is a statewide effort coordinated by the N.J. Dental Association. Dr. Cavan Brunsden has held the event at the office for the past 16 years. The KidZdent team and volunteers saw 68 patients and provided donated dental care worth more than $36,000 in four hours. It was a fun day for children with the Tooth Fairy, face painting, balloons, Disney characters and a visit by Old Bridge Mayor Owen Henry.
