Give Kids a Smile 2011

GKAS

This past January and February Panther Hollow Dental Lodge participated in the 4th annual Give Kids a Smile program sponsored by the Charlotte County Dental Society. This program provides free dental care to under served school age children in Charlotte County. Children participating in this program receive x-rays and a dental examination by a dentist, followed by a dental cleaning and oral hygiene instructions by the hygienist. If the child is in need of additional dental care then they are appointed with the dentist to address their needed dental treatment. The members of Panther Hollow Dental Lodge that participated in this very worthwhile cause were; Dentists – Dr. Samanta Andisco and Dr. Joe Bender; Hygienists – Sandra Blenner, Kendall Boyer, Kim Krieger, and Ruth Starr; Dental Assistants – Kim Dean and Kristen Tobolski.
