(Hazlet, NJ) – Local
dentist, Dr. Ping Cai, will provide one day of free preventative
and emergency dental care and, if necessary, make referrals for
continuing treatment for children ages 12 and under as part of
National Children’s Dental Health Month (CDHM). The one-day
program, called Give Kids A Smile (GKAS), will take place
on Wednesday, February 2, 2005, and is part of the American
Dental Association’s (ADS) annual push to bring attention to the
number one children disease, tooth decay.
“Giving back to the
community that has been supporting my practice is so important,”
says Dr. Cai. “This program, in its second year, will touch the
lives of so many of New Jersey’s children who need oral
healthcare instruction. I am proud to be part of it,” she said.
Children who come to Dr.
Cai’s office, Adults and Kids Dental Care, on Wednesday
will receive a comprehensive dental exam, oral healthcare
instruction, fluoride treatments, and free dental hygiene
materials including tooth brushes, floss and toothpaste.
Last February, more than one
million children in the United States received more than $100
million in dental care at more than 5,000 sites nationwide as a
result of the GKAS event. In New Jersey, hundreds of children
visited eight sites last February through UMDNJ-New Jersey
Dental School, the Jersey City Medical Center, and the
Burlington County Dental Center. For 2005, 15 public sites have
been confirmed across New Jersey in addition to several private
offices, like Dr. Cai’s.
Dr. Cai has been practicing
in the dental fields for more than 15 years. Her practice,
Adults and Kids Dental Care, is located at 40 Village Court,
Hazlet, NJ 07730. For additional information on GKAS, call
