Denver, CO., October 17, 2012 /3BL Media/ - Adams 14 Elementary School students who often do not receive necessary dental exams and treatments will be the beneficiaries of dental screenings, preventive dental sealants, oral health education and restorative care from the Kids In Need of Dentistry’s Miles For Smiles mobile dental clinic thanks to financial support from New Image Dental Implant Center’s advertising through CBS EcoMedia’s WellnessAd program. The mobile dental clinic will serve students at Rose Hill Elementary School for four days of dental services.
To celebrate the weeklong Miles For Smiles school tour, Dr. Neil Dobro, DMD, the founder and president of New Image Dental Implant Clinic, Julie Collett, RDH, Executive Director of Kids In Need of Dentistry, Pat Sanchez the Superintendent for Adams 14 School District, Kandy Steel the Deputy Superintendent for Adams 14 School District, Rose Hill Elementary School Principal, Chris Denmark and Paul Polizzotto, President and Founder, CBS EcoMedia Inc. will host a kickoff event with the students of Rose Hill Elementary School .
“New Image Dental Implant Center is making this effort to help children in our community start life with good dental health,” said Dr. Neil G. Dobro, Prosthodonist and owner of New Image Dental Implants Center. “We’re very grateful to be able to partner with Kids In Need of Dentistry and with CBS EcoMedia to help bring the Miles for Smiles mobile dental clinic to underserved students in the Adams 14 School District.”
New Image Dental Implant Center’s funding will expand the mobile dental clinic’s reach beyond the 1,200 annual patients it already provides care for by at least 25%. Students will also receive school presentations about oral health.
“We are always excited when we are able to bring our mobile dental, Miles for Smiles unit to area schools.” said Julie Collett, RDH, the Executive Director of Kids In Need of Dentistry. “So many children in our underserved population don’t get the oral healthcare they desperately need and that impacts their overall health. But thanks to New Image Dental Implant’s generosity and EcoMedia’s WellnessAd program a lot more students will get the care they deserve.”
“Dental care is one of the basic components of wellness and anything we can do at EcoMedia to see that elementary school students get the attention and resources they need to live a healthier, happier life is something we consider our responsibility,” said Paul Polizzotto, President and Founder of CBS EcoMedia. “That’s the very reason we created the WellnessAd program and that’s why we’re so gratified to be working with our advertiser, New Image Dental Implant Center. They share the same values and vision we do when it comes to these critical social needs and we’re proud to be in this public private partnership with them on behalf of Denver’s youth.”
