At Morita orthodontics, we firmly believe in giving back to the community. This past February, when the Hawaii Dental Association needed someone to lead and organize it’s Give Kids A Smile event, our very own Dr. Scott Morita stepped up to the plate and took charge!
Next, we led a huge promotional push for our final event—we canvassed six local elementary schools with over 10,000 flyers to attract parents and kids to our main GKAS event. We talked to parents, teachers, administrators, and superintendents in an effort to make sure every student knew about our main GKAS day.
For the final and main day of the event, we set up shop at the federally funded Waikiki Makahiki Dental Clinic. The event was open to all children of the community, and we gave kids instruction on proper oral hygiene habits, a free oral examination, a free fluoride treatment, and even a trophy for their hard work! In all, we had 80 volunteers including 30 dentists, and we saw over 100 kids. It was a huge success, and it warmed our hearts to be able to give back to the children of our community.
