11 Barriers to Address Children screened for urgent treatment Low income substantiated and ineligibility for other benefits and insurance Pre- and post-work with children and families completed by public health dental program Time limited services to help children restore dental health A neutral site established for service provision whereby dentist s offices were not involved Proper equipment and facility

15 Building Support for DOoR The DOoR brand Correspondence to volunteers Correspondence to schools Posters, flyers PPT presentations to CADS, Regional Authority, Dental Hygienists, Dental Assistants School principals Red Deer Public Health staff presentations DOoR Open House DOoR DENTAL OUTREACH of RED DEER Dedicated to improving children s oral health Dear We invite your support for an exciting new dental treatment program for Red Deer children in need of urgent care. We need committed dental health professionals such as you to volunteer your time and expertise to provide dental treatment for children with urgent care needs who live with pain and whose growth and development may be affected. Children ages 5 to 12 will be identified through the DTHR school screening program. DTHR dental hygienists will contact parents to address the child s treatment needs. If the family does not qualify for the Alberta Child Health Benefit program, they will be asked to complete a financial assessment for the (DOoR) program. If the family qualifies for service, the public health dental program will book treatment, and address any barriers such as language, transportation, childcare etc. DOoR started in June 2006 when a group of interested dental health professionals from the private practice community and Public Health, David Thompson Health Region, met to share concerns over access to dental care for children from low-income families. The DOoR committee has identified these issues: Some families need help but don t qualify for the Child Health Benefit program The same children with urgent treatment needs are repeatedly seen in screening programs Families of these children may have other barriers such as language, transportation, and competing priorities that make it difficult to access care Dental offices may have difficulty treating these clients due to the same barriers. Can you give us some of your time and expertise? We are looking for enthusiastic dentists, assistants and hygienists to volunteer their time to provide treatment services. Whether you have a few hours during the weekday, on a weeknight or part of a day on the weekend, we would like to hear from you. The new David Thompson Health Region Johnstone Crossing Community Health Centre has a fully supplied dental treatment suite that comes equipped with: ADEC 5000 ambidextrous dental chair and unit Fibre optic handpieces Xray and development Nitrous oxide Onsite sterilization Reception and appointment booking Effective April 2008, with your participation, we will be able to offer treatment services to children with urgent needs and help them maintain their general health and well-being, improve their overall school performance, and reduce their burden of dental disease as adults. Please help us break the cycle of dental disease for the next generation. We look forward to working with you. Interested inquires from dentists, assistants and hygienists who would like to volunteer their time to provide clinic treatment services may be directed to: Dr. Barry Fleming, DOoR committee member Gaetz Avenue Red Deer, AB T4N 4C drbpf@hotmail.com
