Dentistry students at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange have started  the academic year by raising $1 000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service TOOTH (The Outback Oral Treatment and Health) program. More than 150 students attended a Commencement Dinner at Wentworth Golf Club in Orange on Saturday 29 March and raised the funds with a charity auction. The donation follows the donation of $1 500 to the program by CSU's Student Dental Association (SDA) in December. Association Vice-President, Ms Jessica Zachar, said the SDA was a strong supporter of the TOOTH Program and the benefits it provides the community. "We hope that these donations will help in allowing the program to continue the great work and look forward to supporting it in the future," she said. CSU dentistry students have the opportunity to undertake placements in the TOOTH program from CSU in Dubbo during their fourth and fifth years of study.
