Harvard School of Dental Medicine
HSDM 3rd and 4th year students take impressions of the athletes’ mouths and teach the recipients about the importance of proper oral protection during contact sports. These impressions are supervised by an attending HSDM faculty dentist who oversees all fittings. All at our conveniently located Harvard School of Dental Medicine Campus.
