Taylor Dental & Braces Takes Part in Sharing Smiles Day to Deliver Free Dental Care to New Orleans Families in Need

NEW ORLEANS , May 02 /Businesswire/ - Taylor Dental & Braces is proud to announce it will join parent company, Benevis, a leading dental healthcare and orthodontics delivery organization committed to providing quality care to underserved communities, for its ninth annual Sharing Smiles Day on Sunday, May 19, 2024, from 9 AM to 12 PM. For the volunteer event, Taylor Dental & Braces will offer free dental care such as dental exams, limited emergency care, extractions, and restorative care, with cleanings offered on a limited basis, to uninsured or underinsured children in the New Orleans – Metairie area. Families are encouraged to register in advance at www.SharingSmilesDay.com.

In the U.S., tooth decay affects children more than any other chronic, infectious disease, and rates of untreated tooth decay are twice as high for children from low- or limited-income families compared with children from middle- or high-income families. Sharing Smiles Day allows Benevis dental homes and their care teams to connect with neighbors and educate them on the importance of daily brushing, flossing, and good nutrition for a happy, healthy smile. Over the past eight years, Benevis has provided dental relief to more than 3,000 patients across 13 U.S. states, thanks to the dedication of over 300 volunteers.

“Benevis dental homes are well-known for delivering high-quality dental care to disadvantaged children and families in 120 communities across 13 states and Washington, D.C.,” said Bryan Carey, CEO of Benevis. “Sharing Smiles Day is a great way for our care teams to expand their community reach and welcome new families in need of oral healthcare and treatment services. We look forward to this year’s event to provide essential dental care to old and new friends at no cost.”

Benevis continuously works to improve access to essential dental healthcare and create dental homes for families with various forms of insurance, including Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plans. The dental healthcare and orthodontics organization supports a network of like-minded, community-focused dentists prioritizing patient health to make a national impact.

Sharing Smiles Day is open to children up to age 18 who do not have Medicaid or other forms of dental insurance. The available dental treatments will be delivered at no cost. A limited number of appointments are available, and Benevis strongly encourages families to register at www.sharingsmilesday.com in advance of May 19, 2024.
