Platinum Dental Free Dental Day

Today I was super excited to be able to document a free dental day put on by Platinum Dental in Salt Lake. This is the fourth year that Platinum Dental has hosted and organized this event where several dentists, hygienists, assistants, and office staff volunteer their time and supplies for a day.

Big Buddah from Fox 13 News showed up as well and covered the event as well as getting his teeth cleaned.

Here he is witnessing his very first extraction-- clearly impressed :)

One of the reasons I was so excited to work with Platinum Dental today was because I worked as a dental assistant at a pediatric dental office for a short time and I saw a lot of kids who had really decayed teeth. Many of these kids' families didn't have the funds to take care of their dental issues and their teeth, many times ended up having to be extracted. I love what Platinum Dental stands for and that they were willing to donate time and supplies to help the community, young and old.
