Do you know a child in need of dental care? Southwestern AHEC is now accepting phone calls for Give Kids A Smile 2010.
Give Kids A Smile is the American Dental Association-endorsed, annual volunteer initiative to provide free dental care to children in need. Dentists and dental hygienists from the Bridgeport Dental Association (BDA) volunteer their services, so that children with no dental insurance can receive both preventive care and treatment for oral health problems.
2010 will be the 4th year that Southwestern AHEC and the BDA have partnered to conduct Give Kids A Smile. In February 2009, donated dental services valued at more than $139,000 were provided by 48 dentists to 323 children. More than 50 dentists have already signed up to participate in February 2010.
For information, contact Oral Health Care Coordinator Vani Anand at (203) 372-5503 ext 12.
