Spokane, Washington, Feb. 05, 2018 -- Hero Dental is proud to support the American Dental Association Foundation’s annual National Give Kids A Smile® program by providing free dental care for Spokane’s underserved children.

The Give Kids A Smile program is a cornerstone of the ADA’s National Children’s Dental Health Month celebration which is aimed at:
- Expanding needed dental services to underserved children
- Shining a spotlight on the negative consequences of untreated dental disease in the United States.
Hero Dental provides high-quality dental care to children and young adults aged six months through 20 years. Through Give Kids A Smile program, they will be offering free dental care to children in need, including; dental exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, fillings, x-rays, sealants and extractions. Appointments can be scheduled at 82 E. Francis February 5, 12 and 26.
Parents wishing participate should call (509) 484-4746 to schedule. Space is limited and appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Qualifying patients must be under 21 and not currently covered by Medicaid or private insurance.
Less than 50 percent of all U.S. children receive yearly preventive dental check-ups, and the problem is far greater for lower income and minority children who suffer disproportionate rates of tooth decay. According to the Guide to Children’s Dental Care in Medicaid, 80 percent of cavities in permanent teeth impact just 25 percent of U.S. children, and tooth decay has been rated the single most common chronic childhood disease.
Hero Dental also will be celebrating Dental Health Month this February. Children will be encouraged to take the Smile Pledge which includes a promise to:
- Brush 2 x 2 (two minutes, two times a day)
- Get dental check-ups every six months
- Share a smile with someone special
