Dentists and staff volunteerto ‘Give Kids A Smile’

Sixty-eight kids havebrighter smiles— and thetools and information tohelp keep them shiningbright — after local den-tists and dental careteams donated their time,resources and talents forDoorCounty’s seventhan-nual Give Kids A SmileDay on Friday.

More than $32,000 ofdental services were do-nated to local children,manyofwhomhaveneverhad regular access to den-tal care.

Give Kids A Smile Dayis coordinated locally bytheMinistry Door CountyMedical Center’s DentalClinic. The nonprofit or-ganization serves chil-dren fromage2until their19th birthday who do nothave dental insurance orwho have BadgerCarecoverage through theState of Wisconsin. In2012, the clinic helped1,069 kids from Door andKewaunee counties withbasic dental care fromfillings to extractions andthe need continues togroweachyear.Thecliniccurrently has a waitinglist of 64 children.

Children in need of ex-tensive or emergencydental care that the cliniccannot accommodate areconnected with local den-tists who volunteer theirtime and services for ef-forts such as Give Kids ASmile Day. Recipients ofservices were selectedfrom the Dental Clinic’sclient list of children withextensive needs.

For the children whoreceived services, it wastime spent in the dentist’schair getting numerouscavities filled, some teethextracted, sealants andfluoride varnishes ap-plied, X-rays, and teeth

cleaned and examined.Oral hygiene instructionwas also a main focus.

“We are trying to edu-cate patients and theirfamilies. Patient educa-tion is a big focus so thatwecanhopefullyget themout of the cycle of decayand into a healthiermouth,” Ministry DoorCounty Medical CenterDental Clinic CoordinatorMary Ann Zjala said. “Mygoal has always been tokeep kids out of pain andget them to a healthierstate in their mouth, andthat is what GKAS Day isall about.”

The Wisconsin DentalAssociation estimatedthat more than 9,500 chil-dren in Wisconsin re-

ceived $1.2 million of do-nated dental care throughGiveKidsA Smile events.Services were donated by330 dentists, 234 hygien-ists and more than 530other dental care profes-sionals in 59 communitiesthroughout Wisconsin.

Locally, dentists andtheir staff who volun-teered their services toGiveKidsA SmileDay in-clude Dr. Steve Kaminski

and staff ofMidwestDen-tal; Dr. Patti Sigl fromOral Health Partnershipin Green Bay; Dr. PaulFeit and staff ofDentistryByDesign;Dr. TylerHub-bard, Dr. Regan Ludersand staff at Door CountyDental Care; and the staffandvolunteersat theDen-tal Clinic.

“GKAS Day gives kidsthat do not have any ac-cess to care an extra op-portunity to get treated,”Feit said. “It is anotherpiece of the puzzle in ourongoing efforts at theMDCMC Dental Clinic. Itprovides an opportunityfor more doctors andteam members to help usout, andwegreatly appre-ciate their help.”
