NEWS RELEASE
RIVER ROCK DENTAL HYGIENE
*************************
The Gift from the Heart event is unique, as it allows the profession of dental hygiene to come together from every corner of our country in unity to work toward one common goal.
On Saturday, Apr. 7, 2018, registered dental hygienists across Canada are opening their doors and their hearts to provide no-cost preventive dental hygiene services as part of a national project.
The Gift from the Heart event will be the launch to National Dental Hygienists Week™.
On this day, we will provide free dental hygiene care for some of the less fortunate citizens of Barrie. We have several times slots to fill and with your help we can ensure that this message reaches the general population of Barrie.
We are looking only for those who are unable to afford regular dental hygiene treatment due to financial constraint.
For the tenth consecutive year, the Gift from the Heart event provides registered dental hygienists the opportunity to reach out to their communities and help members of the public who may be financially unable to afford oral healthcare or have difficulty accessing dental hygiene services.
There are more than 150 participating locations all across Canada where the public can register to receive no-cost dental hygiene services.
“The profession of dental hygiene is forever evolving and this one day event, the Gift from the Heart, provides registered dental hygienists the opportunity to come together and educate everyone on the importance of preventing oral disease for a healthy mouth and healthy body,” says Bev Woods, CDHA member, event founder and CEO.
Last year, dental hygienists across Canada saw over 1400 clients during the one-day event. In the past nine years it is estimated that dental hygienists across Canada have gifted over $1 million worth of no-cost dental hygiene services during the Gift from the Heart events.
There is still time for professionals to volunteer their services and for the public to register for treatment. Visit www.giftfromtheheart.ca for more details or to find a location near you.
