Each February, practices across the nation participate in Give Kids a Smile Day as part of Nationa Childrens Dental Health Month. Providers often set aside a day where they see children for free for examinations and oral health education. 

Popp is a dentist with Valley Health in Milton, WV. In the report, she explained the importance of proper oral health care routines at an early age. 

Dr. Popp participated in Give Kids a Smile Day when she was a student at the School of Dentistry and has committed to practicing in rural West Virginia.
