Phoenix Dentist Helps Bring a "Boo-tiful" Smile to Local Children After a Sweet Halloween
Dr Karen Chu and Small Smiles Dental Center of Phoenix to hold post-Halloween free dental screenings in a "no child left unscreened" prevention effort.
Phoenix, AZ, October 29, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Dr Karen Chu DMD and Phoenix Small Smiles Dental Center, a local dental practice focused on quality dental care for children in underserved communities, today announced that they will hold a free screening morning on November 2, 2011.
During the hours of 9 am to 11 am, Dr Chu and the clinic will donate their expertise and office resources to ensure that "no child goes unscreened" due to lack of funds or insurance. Special arrangements are available to groups.
“We believe that every child has the right to a beautiful smile,” says Dr Karen. “Every day, we work to make a difference in the lives of the children we serve. Through this program, we are able to ensure that no child goes untreated just because the family can't justify raiding a limited budget for a dental screening when there are no obvious signs of a problem or toothache.”
Pediatric Dental health is a major health issue in the US today. A surgeon general's report stated that fifty-one million school hours are lost each year to dental-related illness. Tooth decay has become the single most common chronic childhood disease - five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever.
On the front lines of these statistics, Dr Chu states, "Since early screening and prevention catch decay and problems when they are small, screenings like these can save a child preventable and painful dental procedures down the line."
To take advantage of these post-Halloween free dental screenings, come to Small Smiles Dental Center, 5115 West Thomas Road (51st Avenue & West Thomas Road) Phoenix, AZ 85031. Sizeable groups please call (602) 233-3133 to make special arrangements.
Every year Dr Karen Chu and Small Smiles Dental Center participate in multiple free screening events for children and teens in the Phoenix area in an effort to ensure that no child goes without care. To learn more call (602) 233-3133 or for online map http://bit.ly/phoenixsmallsmiles
