    Give Kids A Smile

    Coconut Telegraph

    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY FEB 24, 2018 |

    Two hundred thirty nine kids are smiling brighter after being served at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine’s annual Give Kids A Smile on February 17. Now in its fourth year at LECOM, free services include dental screenings and cleanings, X-rays and sealants, minor restorations (fillings) and simple extractions for ages 2 to 18. LECOM dental students provided more than $76,000 worth of dental care to 239 pediatric patients, and hopes to serve more children in its dental clinic throughout the year. In all, more than 2090 volunteers offered their services during the event. About 25 percent of children under age 5 have cavities and many kids enrolled in Medicaid receive no dental services throughout the year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
