Give
Kids a Smile
Feb. 2,
2007- Dr Jo-Anne Johnson participated once again in the American Dental Association's
(ADA) fifth annual Give Kids A Smile program. We joined more than 51,000
dental professionals across the country that provided services including
educational materials, screenings and, where possible, free dental care.
This is a one-day event where Dr. Johnson and her staff, along with other
area dentists volunteer their time to provide free dental care to low
income and disadvantaged children. Months of planning go into making this
event such a success. Working closely with the Manchester Health
Department, Dr Johnson not only volunteered her time and staff, but also
the facility, and supplies. During this annual event, we screened 125
children from Manchester.
From New
England Cable News (NECN):
 Less
fortunate get free dental care for a day

In
addition to the screening day, Dr. Johnson donated additional time,
services and high-tech facility to the dental needs of 6 local area
low-income children. Their services ranged from preventive care, such
as cleanings and x-rays, to fillings and crowns. This is just one more
way for us to give back to the community and we embrace the opportunity
to help out the children of our future.
