Dental Wellness of Suffern is pleased to be participating in the American Dental Association’s Give Kids a Smile program on February 6. The program began in 2003 as a way for dentists to join with others in the community to provide dental services to underserved children. Each year, approximately 400,000 children benefit from dentists and their team members providing screenings, treatments and education to children who may not otherwise have access to dental care. As Dr. Sheri Alpert explains, “I have noticed a need in our community for dental care for families without insurance or who might not otherwise have access to early dental health care. My staff and I feel it is important that everyone learns to take care of their teeth from an early age and start out right. That is why we are dedicating February 6 to dental visits for children who are underserved in our community.”

Yet, before we do anything, let us pause and take the time to pay attention to what is before us.
