Operation Smile Vietnam 20 Years of Smiles
To
commemorate 20 years of providing new smiles, in
November 4-14 2009 Operation Smile and Operation Smile Vietnam will
launch 20 years of Smiles-A Journey of Miracles. To highlight the
diversity of care provided throughout Vietnam, 16 simultaneous medical
programs will be conducted, providing cleft lip and palate surgeries,
dental treatment,
and reconstructive surgeries for burns and cranialfacial anomalies.
Held at sites located throughout Vietnam, these programs will provide
free treatment for an estimated 3,000 Vietnamese children.
This commemorative medical mission is a perfect example of how the Operation Smile Vietnam has grown over the past twenty years.
The free programs will be conducted thanks to the generous
donation of time and talent from more than 500 international medical
volunteers from Vietnam, the U.S., the Philippines, the U.K., Canada,
India, Norway, Hong Kong, China, Ireland, Australia, Brazil, Belgium,
Italy and Cambodia.
I will have honor and pleasure of joining Dr. Daniel Taub and Dr. Mike
Gioffre, Jr. on my third Operation Smile Vietnam Dental Mission in
November.
We are a
small group of doctors that is the tip of the spear in this fight to
help needy children throughout the world, but we are fortunate to have
a dedicated group of
supporters backing our cause. The children of Vietnam
are eternally grateful to you for all of your generous donations, words
of encouragement, and prayers. As we look forward to future missions to
Vietnam, I know that I can count on you and your family, friends, and
colleagues for your continued support to help these children in need. Once again, thank you for your generous support!
Sincerely,

Space Management and Esthetic Restorations in Pediatric Dentistry
Friday, March 12, 2010, 10:30 am - 11:30 am
Dane Hoang, DDS, MS
By restoring primary teeth, some restorations may act as a natural space maintainer -- preventing the loss of arch length and the need for complex orthodontic treatment at a later stage. The potential benefits of using space maintaining appliances include reduced prevalence or severity of crowding, ectopic eruption, and tooth impaction-  not to mention the potential for considerable cost savings by reducing the need for future orthodontic treatment. A must see for general practitioners, Dr. Hoang's presentation will examine a variety of different esthetic restorations and the use of space maintainer appliances available in pediatric dentistry. |
