I want to help a child with an initial exam, x-ray, cleaning and flouride treatment!
Cost: $150
INITIAL EXAM
BRING DENTAL VAN BACK TO SAN JUAN COUNTY
TO DONATE BY MAIL: Make your check out to Fish for Teeth for any amount you wish to donate. Mail check to PO Box 2084, Friday Harbor, WA 98250.
The Dental Van is from Medical Teams International
The January 13-14, 2012 Dental Van visit brought $12,906 in dental treatment to 28 individuals in San Juan County performed by volunteer dental professionals; it cost Fish for Teeth $1,600 to bring the van to San Juan Island for two days (cost is $800 per day). Any amount you wish to donate is helpful. The next scheduled visit to Orcas is March 2012 and to San Juan Island May 2012.
Once initial exam is complete a treatment plan may be necessary. Child will be referred to the dental van, if available. Some donors consider adopting the mouth for regularly scheduled cleanings. Please visit our Adopt-a-mouth page for more information.
All the money will pass through our bank account and directly on to the dentist helping the individual. We don't take any money for ourselves. We want you to feel each child or person you help is part of your family. So if you have a couple of kids and you can add one more mouth to your family dental prevention plan, adopt a mouth. We keep a list of kids who don't have access to regular check-ups. Let us know if this is a good fit for you by filling out the form below. Prevention is the key!
Adopt-a-Mouth
Adopting a Mouth or Accommodations Offer
MAKE A DONATION TO ACCOMMODATE DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS
Accommodations are needed for the dental van coordinator every time the van visits our county. If any off-island dental health professionals volunteer their time, they will need accommodations as well; this will most likely be during the peak season.
Please donate to this cause or fill out the form below if you can offer a guest house or are willing to open your home to these caring individuals.
