Vital Smiles Georgia Partners with Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital

 

Vital Smiles Georgia will be partnering with Phoebe Putney Hospital in through its Network of Trust Program.

The Albany hospital started the program in 1998 to assist teen mothers through education and affordable health care. The Network of Trust has now expanded to include 28 clinics in local schools, and provides health services that have been neglected by often impoverished and under-educated parents.

Vitals Smiles Georgia’s dedication to making dental care available and affordable to all children made the partnership seemed like a natural fit. As a partner, we’ll be providing a dental assistant and a hygienist to teach dental education and perform dental screenings for children throughout the Albany area.

Cleaning

bottom-cleaning

We keep your child’s teeth sparkling clean with the help of our electric tooth brush (a motorized prophy brush). We then apply bubbles (fluoride) to keep his or her teeth strong.

Filling Cavities

We use fun tools like Mr. Bumpy (our slow speed drill) to remove decay. Your child will then receive a silver star (filling), and the tooth will be good as new.

Sealants

Sealants are thin, protective coatings used to prevent tooth decay. They fill in the tiny grooves of the tooth surface so that brushing becomes more effective.

X-Rays

We use a tooth camera (X-ray machine) to take pictures of your child’s teeth. This gives us a better look at his or her smile. Our Digital X-rays are state of the art, limiting radiation exposure.
