A belated thanks to the ODS/OEA Choice Trust/Dental Foundation of Oregon Tooth Taxi for serving the dental needs of students at Foster Elementary.
The Tooth Taxi visited Foster the week of Sept. 22-26. During that week they treated over 56 students. The value of service was over $17,000. Thanks to the great dental team, including Mary Daly, Dr. Heringer, Dr. Goger, Amy Berg and Peggy Wallis.
Sweet Home was chosen by the Tooth Taxi and its supporters to begin as the first school site of service as part of their rural tour of Oregon treating people who have difficulty accessing dental care. As a pilot project we did great!
The staff at Foster were great hosts for this event and the Tooth Taxi team asked to come back for two more days of service on Oct. 8 and 9th. So another 10 kids were seen and dental service provided.
Thanks again, Tooth Taxi, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future!
