Western Dental Joins with San Diego County Dental Society to Provide Free Dental Care

SAN DIEGO , March 02 /Businesswire/ - Western Dental & Orthodontics, one of the nation’s leaders in accessible, affordable oral healthcare and the leading orthodontics provider in the country, has partnered with the San Diego County Dental Society, the County’s Dental Health Initiative and Share the Care in support of the American Dental Association’s “Give Kids a Smile” program, which provides free dental screenings, dental sealants and fluoride varnishes to underserved children.

The free dental services will be provided at one-day clinics at all 16 Western Dental and Western Dental Kids locations in San Diego County through March 19. Dental sealants and fluoride varnishes are painless and effective treatments for the prevention of tooth decay, the single most common chronic disease among children.

“We know that far too many children do not have access to the care they need,” said Dr. John Luther, Chief Dental Officer at Western Dental. “For us, joining with the SDCDS is a great way to serve and support communities where we have offices.”

The Give Kids A Smile® (GKAS) program, launched nationally in 2003, provides underserved children ages 1 through 18 with free oral health care. Each year approximately 6,500 dentists and 30,000 dental team members volunteer at local GKAS events to provide free oral health education, screenings, preventive and restorative treatment to over 300,000 children. More than 6 million underserved children have received free oral health services through the GKAS program.

Appointments are required at the free GKAS events, which kicked off Monday, February 22, and will continue for four weeks at these times and locations:
