Jackson Creek Dental Group will once again be hosting Smile for Kids to treat children, at no cost, who “fall between the cracks” in healthcare – children who would not otherwise receive dental treatment – on Saturday, February 6, 2016 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Because of the overwhelming number of children attending this event appointments will be scheduled in advance starting Monday, January 11th, 2016. These appointments will be filled on a first-come-first served basis by calling Jackson Creek Dental Group at (209) 223-2712. Once the schedule is full we will no longer accept additional patients.

To qualify for treatment, children must be 2-18 years of age, qualify for free or reduced fee school lunches, WIC or CHDP, be a resident of Amador County, and they must not be covered by private dental insurance or Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal. A parent or legal guardian must accompany the child throughout the appointment.

“We know how important dental care is for our overall well-being, and this program allows children who meet the program requirements to receive, at no cost, a complete dental exam and teeth cleaning,” stated Ron Ask, DDS at Jackson Creek Dental Group. “We will also provide x-rays as needed, fluoride treatment and prescriptions, sealants, orthodontic evaluations, along with other emergency dental care as time allows. We all feel very fortunate to be able to participate in Smiles for Kids and believe it’s a wonderful way to give back to the community.”

The doctors and their staff have provided this service to the community on a volunteer basis for over 30 years. Smiles for Kids also offers an opportunity to educate both the child and parent about how the effects of poor oral health extend far beyond problems in the mouth, often causing other health related issues.

“Every child deserves a beautiful, healthy smile,” quoted Leon Roda II, DDS at Jackson Creek Dental Group. “Although tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood disease in America there is a lot that we can do to help prevent it. Untreated dental disease can be extremely painful and affects a child’s physical, emotional and social development. Smiles for Kids is an example of how we can become part of the solution and help give the children in our community healthy smiles for life.”

Crucial follow-up treatment may be provided through the Sacramento District Dental Society’s Adopt-a-Child Orthodontic and Specialty Referral Care Programs. Several local dentists will also be providing these services right here in Amador County as part of the Adopt-a-Child Program. Children requiring Orthodontic and Specialty Referral Care follow-up appointments may be assigned to a specialist to receive necessary endodontic, periodontic, pediatric, orthodontic and oral surgery treatments.

For more information contact us at (209) 223-2712. Jackson Creek Dental Group is open Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
