Included is Dr. Dan Connors’ Spring Valley Dentistry, which has opened its doors to 15 elementary students to provide them with needed preventive and restorative dental services at no charge, and teach them about good oral hygiene.
Statewide, $3.4 million has been provided in charitable dental care to 23,000 low-income children since 2003, when the Wisconsin Dental Association joined with the American Dental Association in launching GKAS during February’s National Children’s Dental Health Month.
