The
“Mobile Dentists” recently visited Taylor Parks Elementary School.
“Smile
Programs” was founded more than a decade ago to help children who were unable
to access dental care and as a result, often suffered from poor oral hygiene,
tooth decay, pain and associated medical problems.
Services
are delivered directly in the school setting, which alleviates the time and
transportation burden on parents and provides a safe, secure and often fun
environment for the children.
According
to Karen Williams, Community Outreach Manger, Smile Programs has been
seeing students from Taylor for over 13 years with the average number of
students seen per year topping off at over 1000.
The
Smile Programs makes us smile.
