Give Kids a Smile, Boise, Idaho
Friday, February 3rd was the national Give Kids a Smile day. This is a national program which provides free dental care and education for children that need it. So far, just under 10,000 dentists and almost 30,000 volunteers participated in the program. It is estimated that more than 400,000 kids were seen. Check out the ADA link for the latest information: http://www.ada.org/givekidsasmile.aspx.
This is a great way to kick off National Children's Dental Health Month. Since childhood caries is preventable, this gives us a chance to educate children and parents and treat many of the dental problems that can keep kids out of school and in pain.
I am very proud that we had many of our office staff members volunteer to take part in this event at our Ustick location. We have a great team at our office who collectively cares about the community they live in. Way to go everyone!
