OVER $79,000 IN FREE DENTAL CARE GIVEN TO THOSE IN NEED

On Friday, February 12th 2010 Dr. Floyd Kasch, Dr. Brent Maiden, Dr. Duane Starr, Dr. Sophia Tan, Dr. Thomas Rosenbarger, Dr. Gabriela Aranda and our staff here at Sleep Dentistry of Portland offered a gesture of caring and goodwill by giving back to the community. The volunteers consisted of our regular staff members as well as some outside volunteers. They worked from 7:30 am until 5:30 that evening. Ninety nine low income people were seen on a first come, first serve basis. $31,386 in free dental care was given away to those in need that may not have been able to receive dental treatment otherwise. This is the fourth year that Sleep Dentistry of Portland has held our Dentistry From The Heart free dentistry event. Last year over $20,700 in dental care was given away to seventy five people. To date, Sleep Dentistry of Portland has helped 293 people and given away over $79,000 in free dental care.

Sleep Dentistry of Portland is making this an annual event and hopes that more doctors in the surrounding communities will join us in this charitable event. Our next free dentistry event will be held on Friday, February 11th 2011. If you are a dental professional who would like information about volunteering for our next Dentistry From The Heart charity event please contact our office at (503) 666-9519.
