Case Study: Kool Smiles

Arriving at the Fresno Convention Center a day ahead of schedule, I was shocked to see people preparing to wait in line overnight, mimicking the pre-Black Friday shoppers frenzy. However instead of shopping for fashionable apparel or discounted electronics, these people were seeking affordable dental care. The people were so desperate that they traveled from all parts of California, sacrificing a few days of warmth, sleep, or work for the prospect of relief. After having spent the previous 3 months fundraising money to attend the California Dental Association Cares Fresno event in order to learn more about dental care in the underserved community, I immediately knew that this event would expose a side of dental health care that I have never

In “Where are All the Dentists?” Kristin Lewis informs the reader about many people who aren't getting the dental care they need, and the organizations who are trying to change it. People who live in dental desserts don't have access to a dentist. Similarly, there are other people who can't afford to go to the dentist, because the cost to go is too high. Not having proper dental care can lead to many health issues later in life, so it's better to go to the dentist now. However, to fix this, people are starting to make mobile clinics where dentists will treat patients. These clinics will travel to dental deserts in order to help the people there for a lowered price, or even no cost at all! The hope is, that doing this will eventually help everyone

Stories of teenage years and coming-of-age have always enrapt children, teens, and adults alike. But why do they? These groups share virtually none of the same interests, and reside in very different emotional levels of life. In every other form of media, these groups can scarcely coexist—the prospect of watching Power Rangers for the six hundredth time would make any parent blanch, and the thought of their four year old asking to borrow his parents’ copy of The Canterbury Tales is laughable. And surely no other age group would condemn themselves so deeply to internet culture than teens. Coming of age stories, however, are the exception. Nadine Gordimer beautifully explains this phenomenon in her short story “A Company of Laughing Faces”.

It’s tough dealing with teeth you hate. Every time you brush and floss, there they are, staring back at you in the mirror. And you just know that people will try not to stare (but fail) when you smile. They don’t mean to make you feel self-conscious, but they do. It’s not your fault or even their fault. It’s your teeth’s fault.
