DON'T MISS OUT!

On Friday, September 21st, 2001, the TPCHD, along with the
Pierce County Oral Health Coalition will present:  'Oral Health in the
New Millennium, Ride the Wave'.

This will be an opportunity to learn about the dental resources in
Pierce County (or lack of), meet
the people that offer the limited
dental resources, learn about how devastating oral pain and cavities can
be, learn about how we
can intervene with our high
risk clients with fluoride Varnish therapy , learn about 5A Cessation
techniques and discuss in an open 'Hot Topic' session about what
things are going on in Pierce County about Oral Health!

If you serve Clients that need dental resources.........you should be
there!
If you serve Clients that are high risk for all health concerns, heart
disease, cancer, pregnant moms and teens, drug dependent, etc.
..........you should be there.

If you use the low-cost dental brochure in your association with your
clients.......then you should
be there!

Let's try to solve the issues of 'Where can these people in pain
go?'  Who is responsible when they need help?  Why are we
allowing people to suffer?  What can we do?
