DescriptionA dentist uses a tongue depressor and a flashlight to look into a pre-kindergartener's mouth during an event for first dental exams at Valle Vista Elementary School at 1700 Mae Avenue Southwest in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The young girl stands with her hands clasped behind her back and her mouth open. A young boy behind her practices "opening wide" for the dentist as he watches the exam.On View
