Seasons of Smiles Dental participates in Dentists with a Heart – Fall Edition, 2012.
“The need for dental services for low-income residents is overwhelming”, said Meredith Batley who is the executive director of the Knox County Health Clinic.
But Seasons of Smiles Dental took a big bite out of that need on Friday, October 12, 2012.
Dentist with a Heart
By the end of the day, Seasons of Smiles Dental had extracted 4 teeth, repaired 2 cavaties, and begun the necessary steps to extract five teeth on a Coumadin patient, by obtaining additional information from the cardiologist.
The Knox County Health Clinic has a dental program that provides examinations, cleanings and X-rays by a dental hygienist. There is limited access to the volunteer dentists, she said. The program also provides dentures for a limited number of people.
“The program is for people who are looking to get a job. It’s hard to get a service job, for example, without a smile,” she said.
The all-day Dentists with a Heart program was aimed at cutting into that waiting list. Seasons of Smiles Dental is doing all we can can to reach out and serve our community.
