Editors note: 
The 4th Annual Prasad Chikitsa Well-Baby Competition gave new meaning to the phrase, healthy competition. On Nov. 14, 2008, 21 proud mothers and fathers, and 19 beautiful children, ages 1-3 years, participated in this preventive health care initiative where everyone is a winner. 
Five-year-old Johnathon Maiori sauntered confidently aboard the mobile dental clinic for his first-ever dental exam. He even had a jaunty grin as he scrambled up into the big exam chair. Then, with a bib clipped under his chin, and a lead, x-ray apron weighing him down, Johnathon took in the strange-looking implements; His expression went from confident to concerned. Mommy? he asked uncertainly. Im right here, said his mom, Jessica Maiori.
