VILSECK, Germany -- Yasmin Hakim, from Steven Swiger's third-grade class at Vilseck Elementary School, and Karen Borg, VES school nurse and coordinator of the school's dental awareness month, show their appreciation by presenting certificates to Dr. (Lt. Col.) Brett Henson and Dr. (Capt.) Spencer Wilson, Feb. 22.

Henson and Wilson provided dental health tips and screenings for VES students as part of National Children's Dental Health Month. More than 100 students were identified as needing dental treatment.

In addition to the certificates, the doctors also received a colorful art book titled "The Tooth the Whole Tooth," which was created by art teacher Julie Carter and her students.
