Cortland Dental & Braces Offers Free Care for Families in Need
Cortland Dental & Braces Partners for Free Dental Care Event
Cortland Dental & Braces is excited to participate in the upcoming Sharing Smiles Day, a significant community event organized by Benevis, a trailblazer in dental healthcare and orthodontics. This event aims to deliver free dental services to uninsured and underinsured families, ensuring that everyone has access to essential oral care.
Understanding the Need for Dental Care
In today’s world, many families find themselves unable to afford necessary dental care, creating disparities in health that can impact children from a young age. Studies show that dental concerns, such as untreated cavities, are prevalent among children in low-income households. This alarming statistic has compelled organizations like Benevis to act, showcasing their commitment to improving oral health access for underserved communities.
A Lifeline for Families
Participating in Sharing Smiles Day, which takes place on a specific Sunday each year, Cortland Dental & Braces will offer free dental exams, limited emergency care, extractions, and restorative services. The goal is to not only provide immediate care but also to educate families about the importance of maintaining oral health.
The Role of Volunteers
The success of Sharing Smiles Day relies heavily on the dedication of volunteers. Cortland Dental & Braces' staff, including dentists and administrative professionals, will devote their time to support this initiative. Their commitment reflects a deep-rooted belief that every community member deserves access to quality dental healthcare, no matter their financial situation.
Community Impact
Over the years, Sharing Smiles Day has impacted thousands, with a record of over 3,400 patients receiving crucial care. This initiative not only aids individuals in need but also serves as a beacon of hope, promoting awareness about dental health and resources available to families.
How to Participate
Families interested in benefiting from Sharing Smiles Day are encouraged to register in advance. This year, appointments are available for children and adults without Medicaid or similar dental insurance. The initiative firmly believes in transparency and accessibility, urging families to secure their appointments early as spaces are limited.
Commitment to the Community
Dr. Ahmed Awad, District Dental Director at Benevis, highlights the significant role community service plays in their mission. He states, “We aim to bridge the gap for families struggling to access oral healthcare, ensuring a healthy smile is a right for everyone.” This philosophy underpins the core values of Benevis and its partner practices.
