The class of 2006 has had the privilege to provide patient care in our brand new, state of the art facility built in fall of 2004. The Southwestern classes of 2006 and 2007 are compassionate students and team players. I am honored to be part of such a great group of peers.

The dental hygiene students have volunteered to help with the Special Olympics and sealant clinics for under privileged families. We have participated in the San Diego Oral Health Forum. Each student also individually volunteers to assist in our communities.
