Indianapolis Healthplex Presentation
Here at Sonrisa learning never stops! Dr. Towns, Dr. Gordon, Bella, and Lauren went to Indianapolis Healthplex to give a lecture about the interrelation between your mouth and your body. They also discussed gingivitis and periodontitis with participants to increase their awareness and help them become a more informed dental consumer.
Keeping Indianapolis Clean
Here at Sonrisa we take pride in keeping our community clean. This year we partnered with the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, and Historical Meridian Park. At these events our employees took part in picking up trash, cleaning up garden beds, refreshing the paint on curbs, and numerous other activities!
IDID Pipeline Initiative
The IDID Pipeline Initiative is a 501 c 3 program, created by Dr. Jeanette Sabir-Holloway to cultivate, nurture, and mentor underrepresented minority students attending college, for careers as dental professionals. Participation in this program should assist applicants in becoming more competitive and better prepared for dental school. The number of graduates of dental programs should reflect their representation in the population and the communities in which they will serve. For more information about the program, visit IDID’s website at ididpipeline.org.
Little Kids, Big Smiles
Sonrisa, a periodental spa, and IDID Institute Corp, a 501 c 3 whose mission is to create opportunities through workforce diversity, oral health literacy, and prevention that increase access to oral healthcare, thereby reducing disparities in healthcare, is proud to sponsor Little Kids, Big Smiles, Preschool Oral Health Program. The mission of this program is to improve the dental awareness, health, and knowledge of children. Brushing instructions, information about the use of fluoride and guidance for healthy food and drink choices help to reduce dental fear. Dental Screenings, and Fluoride Varnish applications are then provided. Sonrisa visits the preschool several times over the course of the semester, along with an after-school program to provide these benefits to school-age children as well.
