Dentsply Sirona, the world’s largest manufacturer of dental products and technologies, is once again organizing a free dental clinic in partnership with TeamSmile, the Carolina Panthers and the Rho Psi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to help ensure that underprivileged Charlotte youth have access to much-needed dental care.
The free dental clinic will provide youth no-cost dental care while offering exciting activities such as meet-and-greets with professional athletes, mascots, cheerleaders, and a lively DJ. Face painters and Dentsply Sirona employees volunteering onsite will ensure a memorable experience for all attendees. Organizers are expecting over 200 youth to attend this year, where they’ll receive free dental check-ups, treatments, and oral health education. The need for such program is clear: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children aged 5 to 19 from low-income families are twice as likely (25%) to have cavities compared to children from higher-income households (11%).
WHAT: Dentsply Sirona to partner with TeamSmile and the Carolina Panthers for a free dental clinic to benefit Charlotte youth.
