775-423- We ask businesses in our community to donate
7400 gifts for the kids so each kid will leave with a goody
bag. We also purchase t-shirts for the kids and for
us to wear on GKAS day, so each kid will get a t-
shirt and a bag with movie, pizza and swim passes.
We have a great day and love helping the kids. We
have so much staff that we are pretty much able to
complete all the work that the kids need. We also
work closely with Northern Nevada Dental Society
to refer kids that we are not able to complete the
work on. They then get the kids scheduled with a
dentist to complete everything for them.
775-673- We are a small dental hygiene program in northern
8279 Nevada, a state that ranks among the highest in
uninsured, and under-insured children. We have
had tremendous budget cuts within the college and
state so we must rely on the kindness of strangers
for donations in order to host a GKAS day and
provide FREE care to the uninsured children of
students attending the college. This is a
collaborative project between dental hygiene and
dental assisting programs, and will be our 3rd
annual event. We have had much success in the
past, and would like to continue providing these
services. Students and children will receive
cleanings, x-rays, exams, sealants, OHI and
fluoride varnish; we refer children in need of
restorative care to our local dental society. We also
have a Medicaid/SCHIP eligibility worker present at
the event to assist signing up those children who
qualify. GKAS is a fabulous learning opportunity
for DA and RDH students to work together to
provide care to children whose parents are also
students. Many of our graduates have taken the
idea of GKAS to the offices where they currently
work.
702-338- Children with no access to oral health will be
8276 screened and treated. The partnership for the
event includes the UNLV School of Dental
Medicine, dental industry, and community groups.
Due to scheduling issues, our event will be held on
Saturday, February 21, 2009.
702-203- Southern Nevada Dental Society's Give Kids a
6348 Smile is a cooperative project with SNDS Member
Dentists, UNLV School of Dental Medicine, local
dental hygienists, local Henry Schein employees as
well as community volunteers. Last year we saw
200 children and performed more than $118,000
worth of treatment. Children who are not
completed on the Give Kids A Smile Day are
referred to the Community Coalition for Oral
Health's 1DAY Program which obtains care for the
children from local dentists at no cost to the
children. The children seen at the event have no
insurance and are from low income schools.
