To raise awareness about the importance of oral health, the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library has invited dentist Dr. Justin Hsieh 謝佳行牙醫 to talk about “preschool dental health” on Thursday, December 17 at 10:30 a.m. in the Storytime Room on the second floor of the library.   

During the 30 minutes program, Dr. Hsieh will teach preschoolers how to correctly brush their teeth and help them to learn about dental hygiene with colorful and informative visual aids.  Dr. Hsieh will also share some tips on the foods children can enjoy during the holiday season. At the end of the program, Dr. Hsieh will give each attending preschooler a complimentary dental care kit. 

To tie in with the Dr. Hsieh’s presentation, the library will do a book display on teeth, dental health and dentist visit for children and their caregivers to check out.  

Dr. Hsieh obtained his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from Boston University. He is a member of the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association. Locally, he is a member of the San Gabriel Dental Society and is committed in using his talent and skill to serve the community.  Dr. Hsieh emphasizes that developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
