Ben LeNeave and his daughter, Emma, fill out a pre-appointment form during the 86th Dental Squadron’s “Little Teeth, Big Smile” event at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Nov. 5, 2016. The event was a way for children ages up to 10 years old to get their teeth checked or cleaned in an environment tailored to their age group. According to the Center for Disease and Control, tooth decay is one of the most common chronic conditions of childhood in the United States. Untreated cavities can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing, and learning. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Lane T. Plummer)
