Free Dental Care Initiative to Benefit Families in Need

Franklin Dental & Braces and Youth Dentistry of Georgia – Savannah are excited to announce their participation in the 10th annual Sharing Smiles Day, organized by Benevis. This initiative, set for a weekend, aims to deliver essential dental care to those who are uninsured or underinsured, particularly families in need. With the ongoing commitment from Benevis to provide quality care, this event has become a beacon of hope for many within our communities.

Making a Difference in Dental Health

During this special event, volunteers from Franklin Dental & Braces and Youth Dentistry of Georgia will offer free dental services ranging from routine checkups to emergency care. As reported last year, Shared Smiles Day successfully provided valuable dental services to several hundred families, highlighting the urgent need for accessible healthcare.

Dr. Amber Good, District Dental Director at Benevis, emphasized, "We are dedicated to ensuring that every child and family feels confident about their oral health." This sentiment drives the volunteers who dedicate their time to support local families. It reflects the belief that dental wellness is not just about treating issues but about fostering a positive relationship with smiles.

The Importance of Accessible Care

The need for free or affordable dental care is crucial, as statistics show many children lack proper dental treatment, leading to long-term health issues. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported that children from low-income families are disproportionately affected by untreated oral health issues. This alarming trend highlights the importance of events like Sharing Smiles Day, which aim to remove barriers to dental care.

Benevis’ commitment to enhancing access to such essential services is evident through their support and advocacy. With a network of skilled professionals and community-driven initiatives, Benevis strives to reach underprivileged communities.

Continuing the Tradition of Caring

As the event approaches, preparations are underway to ensure that the volunteers can provide quality care over the two days. Families are encouraged to register in advance to secure their appointments. Benevis continues to champion the cause of accessible dental care for all, working tirelessly to improve the oral health landscape.

This event serves as a reminder that as a community, we can come together to make dental health a priority, ensuring that everyone has access to the care they need.
