Dr. Yamada and her team at Ocean Dental Care Give Local Kids Over $4000 Reasons to Smile!
At the end of June, Dr Michele Yamada and her team at Ocean Dental Care completed their annual Smiles for Life campaign to raise money for children’s charities. Dr. Yamada donates her time and expertise in whitening peoples’ smiles and then part of the proceeds raised goes to a local children’s charity. This year Dr. Yamada chose the local charity Young At Art. Ocean Dental Care raised over $4000 for this OB non-profit that gives art instruction in all sorts of visual media from painting to ceramics, so that local children may explore and expand their creative side. The remainder of the proceeds from this campaign goes to Smiles For Life’s outreach dental programs in the Dominican Republic, Nepal, Bolivia and Guatemala. This is a wonderful and easy way for members of the community to help make a real difference in a child’s life.
