Pippen Dental Offers Free Dental Care for Families in Need
Pippen Dental & Braces Invites Communities to Sharing Smiles Day
Pippen Dental & Braces is excited to announce its involvement in the 10th Annual Sharing Smiles Day, a significant community event that provides free dental care to families without insurance or those underinsured. As part of its commitment to addressing oral health disparities, Pippen Dental collaborates with Benevis, a recognized leader in dental care that focuses on underserved communities.
Event Details for Sharing Smiles Day
This year, Sharing Smiles Day will take place on a Sunday in mid-May from 9 AM to 2 PM and from 1 PM to 4 PM ET. Families requiring dental exams, limited emergency care, extractions, and restorative care are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. The sharing initiative highlights the dental team's dedication to supporting the community by offering their time and expertise at no charge.
What Is Sharing Smiles Day?
Beginning nearly a decade ago, Sharing Smiles Day aims to provide dental relief and improve access to care for those who might otherwise face barriers. With more than 3,400 patients benefitting from this initiative across various states, the event exemplifies how dedicated volunteers can make a substantial impact in their communities.
Real-Life Impact of the Event
Dr. Peter Igoe, District Dental Director for Benevis, expresses pride in participating in the event. He emphasizes the importance of providing dental services to families who may struggle due to financial constraints. Many individuals face obstacles that prevent them from receiving necessary dental care, and events like Sharing Smiles Day are crucial in addressing these issues.
Unique Offerings from Pippen Dental
Throughout the years, the organization has established a reputation for putting community well-being at the forefront. Participating Indiana locations will include Pippen Dental & Braces in Lafayette and Terre Haute, ready to welcome families and offer essential services. Patients can arrive at the designated times to receive treatment and support.
Locations and Timing
Families can visit the Lafayette location on Commerce Drive in the afternoon, while the Terre Haute office will be open in the morning. It is recommended that families register prior to the event to ensure that they secure a spot for free care.
The Significance of Accessible Dental Care
According to recent statistics, many individuals in the U.S. rank dental care as one of the most challenging healthcare services to afford. The problem is particularly acute among children in low-income households, with many suffering from untreated dental issues. This reality has driven Benevis to take action and provide free care through initiatives like Sharing Smiles Day.
Community Feedback and Support
Benevis’ CEO, Bryan Carey, spoke about the organization’s mission to enhance access to essential dental healthcare. The commitment is not only to serve those with insurance but to create opportunities for families with various financial backgrounds. The response from community members at past events has been overwhelmingly positive, as people appreciate the kindness and quality service provided.
Registration and Appointment Details
Families interested in receiving dental care during Sharing Smiles Day are encouraged to register at least a few days in advance. Limited appointments are available, so early registration is vital to ensure participation. The organization’s commitment to making oral healthcare accessible helps reinforce its role as a community pillar.
Continuing the Legacy
The ongoing success of Sharing Smiles Day is a testament to the impact of community engagement and collaboration. By offering free dental services, Pippen Dental & Braces, alongside Benevis, continue to advocate for equal access to dental care for everyone, especially children and families in need.
