Free Dental Days through Dentistry From The Heart can be a challenge to organize. The first hurdle is getting as many staff members, including dentists, to volunteer a day of service. Our administration staff quickly agreed to help with first the promotion, sending out press releases to the local media and setting up interviews with myself. CBC Morning loved the idea of a Free Dentistry day you can hear the interview through itunes.
$15,000 worth of free dental care was provided for the members of the Orillia community who lined up from 5 AM and were able to get treated before we closed the day in the late afternoon. What a success.
Georgian Dental was very fortunate because the patients at our ORILLIA DENTAL OFFICE were very supportive of our first Dentistry From The Heart Free DENTAL CARE day.
It is essential to get your local community including your city’s Mayor behind a Dentistry From The Heart free dental day to encourage other DENTAL CLINICS to get involved. We had a number of patients who donated…. including gift bags. Our suppliers donated brushes and toothpaste and the city parking lot next door open their gates to all.
