On October 15th, the American Dental Association, Henry Schein, Inc. and 3M ESPE will host a dental health screening event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway’s “Kid Zone” during the NASCAR Charlotte Race Weekend. Volunteer dentists and other dental team members will give underserved children free dental evaluations, fluoride treatments and dental sealants at this unique event. Children will receive digital X-rays embedded in a wristband as their badge of honor for participating. In honor of this special oral health program, NASCAR driver Greg Biffle’s #16 3M Ford and uniform will sport the Give Kids A Smile logo during the Charlotte Bank of America 500 Race. The event also serves as an advance celebration of the Give Kids A Smile program’s 10th anniversary in 2012. Give Kids A Smile is an ADA initiative where dentists and their dental teams provide free oral health care services to children from underserved communities across the country (3M PT).
