Give Kids a Smile Day
The Minnesota Dental Association is proud to coordinate a charitable outreach program, Give Kids a Smile, to provide free care to low-income children in need. The two-day, statewide event is Friday, Feb. 4, and Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011. The Association is committed to doing what it can to make quality care accessible to every child in Minnesota. Call United Way 211 (just dial 2-1-1) or 800-543-7709. Operators will have a list of participating dental offices and will be able to direct people to a location in their area. Parents will then call the dental office to schedule an appointment. Services will vary from preventive care, which includes cleanings, sealants and fluoride treatment, to restorative care, which includes fillings. Each participating dental office can set its own age range. Typically, the age range is 3 to 18. But, since it may vary, it’s important that parents ask this question when making an appointment for their child. Appointments are required.
