Our medical students have done more than 1,000 physical exams in the village schools that Hillside covers. By far the biggest health problem is dental decay. For that reason, we have begun teaching the youngest children in the schools how to brush and take care of their teeth. As an incentive we try to give each child in those classes a toothbrush and actually have them use it during the teaching. It can be great fun, if not a bit messy.
