MErna tajaddod orthodontics is happy to bring give kids a smile to the children of palo alto, ca and the mid-peninsula

From February 1st-11, Dr. Merna Tajaddod and fellow dentists from the Palo Alto and Mid-Peninsula community volunteered to teach educational dental classes to children in Kindergarten and 1st grade. Dr. Tajaddod along with fellow collegues taught children the importance of dental hygiene and dental care. Some of these presentations were followed by Dental Screenings, where Dr. Tajaddod and other volunteers gave each child an oral examination. The dental exams are important for the children of our communtiy as some families might not have appropriate dental care for their children. GIve Kids a Smile is a hige opportunity for children to receive the proper dental care and for parents to lift a weight from their shoulers as Give Kids a Smile is completely free for these children. 

Dr Tajaddod and her fellow collegues were able to share their knowledge with the children of the Mid-Peninsula. With their expertise in the dental field, these children who are sometimes underrepresented in the health care system were able to have access to dental care and dental adivec that on other circumstances would not be available to them.

Dr. Tajaddod visited schools in the Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Mountain View areas. As an active memeber of the Palo Alto community, Dr. Merna Tajaddod enjoyed helping the children of our community and is thank ful for all the volunteers who took time from their day to help. Fortifying the relationship with the community is important to Dr. Tajaddod; as a member of the community Dr. Tajaddod hopes to bring more opportunities like Give Kids a Smile to the Palo Alto and Mid-Peninsula areas.

We hope to proceed with such a great turnout for the year 2014.  Help us spread the word to all the Mid-Peninsula elementary schools to spread awareness for next years GIVE KIDS A SMILE which will take place the first week of February!
