2017 Sacramento District Dental Society Annual Report

2017 SACRAMENTO DISTRICT DENTAL FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT

Foundation Annual Report of the Sacramento District Dental Society

By Viren Patel, DDS

2017 Foundation President

Smiles for BIG Kids® (SFBK) began in 2009 and, recognizing that often the parents’ dental health needs are equally as urgent as their children’s, SFBK focused on the needs of parents of SFK patients and the elderly. Since then, the program has expanded to address the dental needs of underserved adults (including parents of SFK patients). The Foundation has partnered with several local community organizations to identify eligible patients and, each year, member dentists provide much needed care to these individuals in the form of dentures, restorative treatment and specialty treatment. Still in its early stages of development, this project will hopefully be as successful as SFK someday!

2017 STATS: SMILES FOR BIG KIDS 32 Patients completed 15 Patients still in progress 2017 Total $166,700 in service donated by doctors Totals since the beginning of the program

600 patients served $1,400,000 in treatment donated Average age of patient 49

The Heart of Our Society Looking Back at the SDDS Foundation in 2017 Thank you for the privilege of being the Foundation President for 2017. The SDDF is a 501c(3), not for profit corporation, whose mission is to promote the oral and general health of the public by serving as the charitable arm of the SDDS. Our Core Values are Benevolence, Accountability and Service.

It is my pleasure to summarize for you what we achieved last year. In compiling this report I have found that the nature of our Foundation is changing. We historically have focused on providing care to those in need regardless of their coverage status within the social welfare system. With the passage of the ACA, all children have some form of dental coverage and as such we have morphed into a navigation system to ensure that those that need care are directed to those being paid to take care of them. This change has shown up as fewer children needing services within our flagship project Smiles for Kids. This is a great thing. In February we saw fewer kids than ever that needed care. Our effort in teaming with the dental plans has resulted in greater oral health for the children in our community. Congratulations to all involved.

Another change that was made on Smiles for Kids day affected the Ortho program. We were able to have an orthodontist present at each site, except one, and this resulted in a more direct route for those needing care. A large number of children were adopted that very same day.

I do have to report some bad news to you.

I am sad to inform you that we are the recipients of fewer grants each year. This is a sign of the economic times and the shift in the types of philanthropy large organizations

are participating in. However, we did receive smaller grants through contacts within our Foundation members and I encourage all of you to put our name forward to any organizations with which you may be affiliated. A great example of this was an event I was privileged to attend at the Carmichael chamber of commerce. Dr. Gabrielle Rasi being the connection, nominated SDDF and we were given the award of Non-Profit of the Year. At the presentation ceremony, I was able to inform a new and diverse group of our efforts and the incredible success of our programs. In addition, a portion of the proceeds of that event were donated to our Foundation.

Our effort in teaming with the dental plans has resulted in greater oral health for the children in our community.

Despite the lack of grants, our Foundation continues to grow. I am proud to inform you that we reached the landmark $2M mark in assets during 2017. This is a testament to the strength of our members’ convictions. These funds will ensure that our programs will continue into the future.

The landscape of need continues to change and our Foundation will continue to be flexible and adapt to the changes as they arise. We will continue to partner with other organizations to ensure that those in need are served. Thanks to all of our members, both SDDS and SDDF, for all that you give. 

Crowns for Kids

Continues to Support Our SFK Project!

With the thanks all going to our member dentists who participate as well as the Star Group (our awesome partner refining company!) and our rep, Jim Ryan, we are proud to say that 2017 was another GREAT year for crown donations!

Our goal is to continue this program and continue to strive to get more dentists to participate each year. Currently only 120 dentists participate… and it can be so much more!

What can you do? Just Call us and we’ll get you a jar to start saving crowns that your patients and donate to help our kids in the community.

Our goal for 2018? We hope to get 25 new doctors to participate? Will you?? Again, just call us? How easy is it? Just explain to your patients that their donated crown helps with our project SMILES FOR KIDS – it’s a nobrainer!

In 2005, the Foundation partnered with Star Refining and began Crowns for Kids® (CFK) to benefit Smiles for Kids. In this program, member dentists collect scrap metal from their patients’ dental treatment in CFK jars, the jars are collected and sent to the metal refinery (Star Group), and the refinery sends a check to the Foundation each month.

Look at the stats – it’s been so great… and can be even better! 

Foundation of the Sacramento District Dental Society Changing Lives

A couple of years ago we started treating a young woman with significant dental problems. In the May 2017 issue of the Nugget, “Veronica’s Story” was published, recanting the challenges she faced because of a severely compromised dentition. It took a team, consisting of Dr. Peter Worth, myself

Respectfully submitted by Paul P. Binon, DDS, MSD, FAO and the laboratory support from KP28 in Sacramento to get the job done. All treatment was completed under the auspices of the SDDS Foundation, the Smiles for Kids and Smiles for Big Kids program. Since treatment has now been completed, Veronica is in our hygiene maintenance program. She now has a lips apart, happy smile that radiates confidence. Dentistry is not the easiest profession with its many challenges. So if you want to experience the joy that you can bring into someone’s life with a smile or the ability to eat without pain, consider adopting a patient in need. There is a sense of real satisfaction in doing something like that. If you have not experienced that feeling, I suggest you contact SDDS and find that special patient that you can volunteer to help. I want to thank the Foundation membership for giving us the opportunity to make a difference. 

Our children are our future! How we live, love and give is very important to me and that is why I love being a part of SDDS Smile for Kids. I love seeing a smile on a child’s face, a sheepish thank you, a look of awe and wonder when you, the doctor, listen to them. These are the moments I cherish most!!

Before

After

If we are not willing to help children in need in our own communities, we have entered the dental profession for all the wrong reasons.

A Note From a Mom I am so grateful every day for such a wonderful blessing. Braces have given my daughter Viviana so much confidence.

There is nothing more beautiful in the world than a child’s smile. To see her happy and confident makes so me so happy. I cannot express in words what this means to us.

Our largest and most far-reaching project, Smiles for Kids® (SFK) (originally founded in 1991 by Dr. Gerard Ortner and Dr. Don Rollofson) was adopted and expanded by the Foundation in 2003. It partners member dentists with local schools to screen and provide dental education to thousands of children each year. From the screenings, underinsured and underserved children are treated by member dentists and their staffs on SFK Day each February. More than half of those children are then “adopted” for further pro bono treatment – including specialty and orthodontic treatment. Each year, a million dollars in pro bono treatment is provided to children in the five county SDDS area. Smiles for Kids is making great strides toward reversing the disheartening statistics that plague the children of our community.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, to Dr. Walters and SDDF for what this has done for our family.

Adriana Dazo, Mother of Viviana Dazo

Foundation of the Sacramento

A charitable 501-C3 organization

District Dental Society

From Elk Grove to Truckee, young patients were cared for on Smiles for Kids Day. I had the wonderful opportunity to visit a few of these offices on that morning... and deliver “goodies.”

How heartwarming for me to see not only the volunteer dentists, but also their assistants, hygienists and front desk staff all helping provide the care. More than one volunteer dentist was at each office that I visited. All were welcoming and smiling and giving freely of their time on Saturday.

NANCY ARCHIBALD, DDS

We were not able to host SFK day in our office at the scheduled time in February because of staffing issue.

However, since we have hosted SFK day for last 8 years we were bummed that we won’t be able to do it this year.

However, we hosted it on March 24.

We knew we could manage getting the schedule full but liability wise it was a big relief to host it under SDDF flag. Thank you SDDF! We were able to treat 14 kids and do over $6000 in donated care. The patients were very grateful and I think we are setting a good example for our kids and grandkids of giving back. I hope they can continue the tradition.

PURVAK PARIKH, DDS SFK DOCTOR

It only costs $75 a year to be a member of our Foundation. Email us at sdds@sdds.org to become a member and make a difference.

I had a great experience volunteering for the Smiles for Kids day. Roseville dental group and SDDF did a great job in all manners to facilitate and treat as many children as possible. I am glad I could be part of Smile for Kids day that is geared towards fighting dental caries and promoting prevention in our undeserved population. Thanks for the opportunity.

KART RAGHURAMAN, DDS SFK DOCTOR

Thank you for supporting the Foundation!

A Full Jar Equals a Full Heart

Dr. Jill Beams and Dr. Kimberly Wong

Today we debanded Michaela Allen.

She was a joy to work with! As you can see from the before and after photos below, she was as excited to get her braces on as she was to get them off. Dr. Alexander was so touched by the note and cheesecake that Michaela and her Mom brought to us today! It was the encouragement our staff needed during this busy summer; reminded all of us of why we do what we do! Dr. Alexander asked that I send you this email to show our appreciation for your team and for all that Smiles for Kids does! It does NOT go unnoticed!

FROM DR. ALEXANDER & MARTIN'S OFFICE

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

for donating $9,000 for CROWNS FOR KIDS! And thank you to their patients, the people of Rancho Cordova and more!

Foundation of the Sacramento District Dental Society

Spirit of Giving Being a general dentist, I provide care and interact with a great number of individuals.

On a regular basis, I find that we are the recipients of gifts. Often, it seems, I am awash with food and drink items so generously given to us by our referral offices, patients and friends. It occurred to me that what we really enjoy is the recognition, far more than the actual items. I also realized that this is an opportunity to do something more. What

if, in lieu of gifts to my office, I received a notice of a donation to my favorite charity?

(Mine happens to be our Foundation!) This would result in me getting the thanks that was intended, but in addition there would be others that would also benefit.

I am going to suggest instead of sending gifts of chocolates, wine and food baskets, restaurant cards, iTunes cards and a myriad

By Viren Patel, DDS Foundation President

of other gifts, that we instead choose to give those that we wish recognition via a donation and provide for those in greater need. As a recipient, I am certainly going to suggest a donation instead of a fleeting thank you gift. The SDDF is near and dear to all of our hearts and I cannot think of a better way to say thank you to a dentist than a gift to the Foundation in their name. 

MATTHEW SANDERS, DDS I think that volunteering is an important part of strengthening our communities and participating in the Smiles for Kids ortho program has been a great way for me to give back. What has been truly worthwhile as an orthodontist is to use my skills to provide pro-bono orthodontic care for children from families in need who would not receive this care otherwise.

Mariana and Cristina are sisters getting treatment at the same time so this will be a memorable and great bonding experience for them. We can’t wait to see their final results.

About Mariana Favorite hobby/sport: Volleyball Favorite food: Enchiladas Least Favorite: Vegetables Future plans: When she grows up she wants to be a neo-natal nurse. She said, “the kind of nurse that takes care of babies.”

Favorite subject: Math How will braces affect you?: “I never really smiled before so I'm excited for my teeth to move so I can smile.”
