WHY: Because dentists in Toledo care about our underserved community. Dental care is the number one un-met health need in the United States and in the State of Ohio. Many families are experiencing difficult choices due to the current economic situation. Toledo dentists care about the dental health of children and adults who have trouble accessing dental care.
This event was initiated as a reaction to an article in The Blade indicating that dentists across the country were doing very well financially, despite the fact that there were many patients who could not get access to dental care. This notion stimulated several members of the Toledo Dental Society as well as several members of the Toledo Dental Hygiene Association, to form a subcommittee of the Toledo Dental Society. The mission of the Miles For Smiles committee is to help fund dental care for the underserved and underprivileged citizens of Toledo and Northwest Ohio. The Miles For Smiles motto is to "have fun, get fit, give back."
