Spencer Dental & Braces supports Sharing Smiles Day – A Free Day of Dental Care for Families in Need


Virginia Beach, VA, May 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spencer Dental & Braces, in partnership with dental practice support organization Benevis, is proud to announce its support of the seventh annual Sharing Smiles Day on Sunday, May 22, 2022.  Sharing Smiles Day is a volunteer event that provides a free day of dental care to uninsured children and their families.  

  

Previously, Sharing Smiles Day has provided dental relief to over 2,000 uninsured patients across 16 states.  This year, volunteer doctors and staff from Spencer Dental and its partner dental offices will participate in the free day of dental care for uninsured and underinsured children. Dr. Jane Whang, DDS, Regional Director of Clinical from Benevis, said, “This is a big day for our entire company.  Our doctors, hygienists, and other team members are driven by our mission and committed to providing access to dental care.”  

  

Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among U.S. children, five times as prevalent as asthma, and is one of the nation’s greatest unmet children’s health needs, especially in low-income, minority, and rural communities. “Tooth decay is one of the leading health concerns for children in the U.S. today, and this is a way Benevis and our partners can help,” shared Dr. Brad Bryan, DMD, VP of Clinical Operations for Benevis.    

  

Oral health is an essential part of the overall health and quality of life for adults too. Poor oral health can increase the risks associated with chronic diseases including heart disease and diabetes. “There are too many families that face coverage gaps or insufficient dental insurance.  Sharing Smiles Day is a way we can help provide access to the care in the communities we serve,” said Dr. Bryan.  

  

“We want to help millions of people smile every year.  Including kids and families that might not have access to care they need,” said Benevis HR Business Partner, Jaycee Wright.
