On March 10, 2012, Mission Medical Clinic hosted a luncheon to recognize volunteers who have provided at least 5 years of volunteer services. Dr. Albers helped start Mission Medical’s dental clinic over 5 years ago, now, and has continued to volunteer there each month. If you have extra time on your hands, they can always use more volunteers.
Today’s New York Times article on the rise in the number of preschoolers needing extensive dental work is a wakeup call for parents. It is important for parents to understand that proper diet (including staying away from high sugar content foods) and good, early oral hygiene can lessen the likelihood that their child will develop problems with early onset of dental decay. If you have any questions, please give our office a call.
