DescriptionA dentist checks the mouth of a pre-kindergartener 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 as the dentist uses a tongue depressor and flashlight to check her teeth during an event for first dental exams for students. Another student is having his mouth examined by a dental hygienist in the background. A third student is waiting his turn, with his mouth open, for the exam.On View
