Dear Dr. Creasey, Thank you for your interest in the International College of Dentists (ICD) USA Section Foundation and Henry Schein Cares Humanitarian Stimulus Grant for USA Section Fellows.

INTERFAITH ADULT DENTAL CLINIC
ICD Grant Report for 2018 Description and documentation of grant expenditure--$500 Funding from this grant was used to purchase supplies for our clinic. Receipts are attached noting these purchases.
Short narrative of project—photos are attached as well as media document used. The Interfaith Adult Dental Program serves adults in Calhoun County who have no insurance or financial means to receive dental care. Applicants must provide proof of residency and income or lack thereof. The program is designed to serve those who have absolutely nowhere else to turn to for dental care. The Adult Dental Program is the only free dental service for adults in Calhoun County. Patients are seen in the Interfaith Adult Dental Clinic or, if their needs are acute, are appointed to a local dentist or oral surgeon for immediate care which Interfaith pays for. No cosmetic or restorative work is provided. For those who have acute dental needs, this clinic promises improved health and overall wellness. They are then able to work, care for their family, and be a productive member of our community--all at no cost to them. Evaluation of Project In keeping with the mission of the agency, "Bringing God's People Together to Serve God's People in Need, the program goals include overall improved health status of our patients, decreased Emergency Room Visits for dental issues, and increased community partnerships. The goals are geared to serving the needy and doing so through community volunteers. The goal of overall improved health status of patients is achieved by seeing patients either in our clinic or by outsourcing them to local dentists for acute care. By treating their dental needs, their overall health is improved because it has been proven that dental issues can lead to numerous additional overall health issues. Dental health can have an impact on the quality of your wellness and has been linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and dementia. In treating patients either in our clinic or by outsourcing, we eliminate the need for them to present to local Emergency Rooms with acute dental needs. Community partnerships are increased through the use of volunteer dentists and dental staff. Their participation in providing dental work for patients in need rejuvenates their own passion for dentistry. It provides an opportunity to take money out of the equation and remind themselves of why they entered this field; it offers an avenue to serve others who are less fortunate. Those who participate tell us that it is the most humbling and rewarding experience and they share their experience with others. It has been through this "word of mouth" that our partnerships have increased. Program effectiveness is measured through the outcome measurement plan. We expect that patients who receive dental treatment will have improved dental health. This improved dental health will be evidenced in their clinic charts which show dental needs prior and post treatment. The treatment is considered effective if their dental need has been addressed and solved. This is documented in their chart which both the dentists and the dental coordinator sigh off. For outsourced patients, the dental
Page 7
coordinator makes phone follow up calls to determine if the patient’s needs have been addressed and met. We find that we are 100% effective in all patients who are approved to receive care through the Adult Dental Program. We expect that patients will have lowered dental health care expenditures because they receive their treatment at no cost through the Adult Dental Program. A survey is completed by patients in the program which is specific in addressing out of pocket expense for dental care as well as well as other issues: timeliness of service, satisfaction, service received. Patients receive and complete this survey after their dental care. We do not survey those who are outsourced, but do a follow up phone call and ask the questions on the survey. These phone calls occur weekly. Reports from the surveys and the dental coordinator regarding any issues are provided to the Executive Director weekly and the Executive Board monthly. Annual meetings are held with the lead volunteer dentist to discuss ways to improve the clinic and its quality of service. The Interfaith Adult Dental Program served 524 clients in 2018. Of this number, 280 were seen in the Interfaith Clinic and 244 were referred to local dentists for outsourced care. 2,041 teeth were extracted. These numbers reflect the outcome goals of ensuring that clients have overall improved health and have decreased emergency room visits. Studies show that untreated dental conditions lead to numerous additional overall health issues and affect work productivity so by providing dental care we know that we are improving their overall health. We are able to provide this data and track assistance trends because of our goal of having volunteers serve those in need in their community to increase community partnerships. It is the volunteers who quite often assist with intake, who do all data input, and maintain our charity tracker. It is the dentists who give of their time and their staffs who assist them at no cost. With a part time staff of at Interfaith, these volunteers are indispensable. An example of how our Dental Program helps people was evident in a gentleman we saw last spring. This client was preparing for chemotherapy and radiation therapy for throat cancer. Before his treatment could begin, he was instructed to have his teeth removed by his oncologist. In a potentially grim turn of events, he found himself without dental insurance or financial resources. Our clinic assisted him with the extractions, paving the way to continue his potentially lifesaving treatment.

We Need You! One day a month, one day a quarter, working in our clinic can help dozens of our neighbors in need.
Can you help?
Who Needs the Interfaith Ministries Adult Dental Clinic Every week Calhoun County residents with nowhere else to turn for dental assistance come to Interfaith Ministries to get relief from the pain of unmet dental care.
Sarah is a drug addict in recovery with severe dental issues. Her continued recovery was at risk due to her severe pain. She needed two teeth removed and had no income, no insurance, and no alternatives. The IFM Adult Dental clinic took care of the extractions and eliminated her pain. She is successfully continuing her recovery, now even closer to a productive and happy life.
James could be described as one of the working poor. He is employed as a full-time food service worker making minimum wage, but does not have dental insurance benefits. He broke a molar which resulted in a painful and potentially dangerous abscess. IFM sent him to a dentist office immediately for antibiotic treatment, then set him up with an appointment at our free clinic to remove the broken tooth, allowing him to return to work.
Carl is a gentleman from Anniston preparing for chemotherapy and radiation therapy for throat cancer. Before his cancer treatment could begin he was instructed by his oncologist to have teeth removed. In a potentially grim turn of events he found himself without dental insurance and without resources. IFM assisted him with the extractions, paving the way to continue his potentially lifesaving treatment.

The Interfaith Adult Dental Clinic The Interfaith Adult Clinic is the only facility in which adults can receive free dental care in Calhoun County. In 2007, Interfaith recognized the need to grow their dental program from one of referrals which were funded by Interfaith, to a free dental clinic. Local dentists volunteer their time to serve clients in the clinic. Clients are screened at Interfaith Ministries by a part-time dental coordinator and appointed to our dental clinic.
Located in the RMC West Building, the Adult Dental Clinic features: • Four fully furnished treatment rooms • Fully self-contained portable dental unit for complicated surgical procedures to include a surgical handpiece • X-ray room where both panoramic and periapical x-rays can be performed • Vast assortment of exodontia forceps and related instruments • OTC analgesics and common antibiotics kept in the clinic • Three autoclaves used to keep instruments sterile

Every week Calhoun County residents with nowhere else to turn come to Interfaith Ministries’ Adult Dental Clinic. Our clients not only get relief from pain, but are often given enough hope to continue taking steps to improve their quality of life. The generous participating volunteer dentists provide treatment, encouragement and a step toward a brighter tomorrow. “Working with Interfaith allows me to give back to the community that has contributed to the success of our practice. The change of pace working in the clinic versus our office is refreshing and provides great perspective. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity!” – Dr Whit Welch
“I like being able to go on a mission trip every month without leaving Calhoun County.” – Dr. Bruce Cunningham
“I love working at the Interfaith dental clinic because it allows me the privilege of serving those in our community who would not otherwise be able to receive dental care. It’s an enjoyable and encouraging environment where our patients are so appreciative and I know that much good is being done as a result of helping in this clinic. It has been a blessing to me.” – Dr Kellen Spivey
“Christ tells his followers to feed and Shepard his sheep. As a wife, mother of 2 teenagers, and owner of a busy private practice, there is little time to go on foreign mission trips. God has brought the mission field to me through my service with the Interfaith Dental Clinic, many lives are changed for the better with our help.” – Dr. Connell
Not Without YOU! The participating volunteer dentists make the clinic happen. Donating just one day a month to do extractions in our clinic and seeing clients in their offices for emergencies at reduced rates, our heroes made it possible to improve the lives of 524 neighbors in Calhoun County in 2017.

Calhoun County: The Realities of Unmet Dental Care According to the latest U.S. Census data, Alabama ranks as the 5th poorest state in the nation. Only four other states rank lower. Over 18% of Alabama residents live below the national poverty level, which is 3.2% higher than the national average. Calhoun County residents fare even worse with a poverty rate of 20.5%. This equates to one of every five residents of Calhoun County living at or below minimum living standards. At least 23,000 men, women and children in Calhoun County live in circumstances where jobs, food, clothing, and shelter are everyday uncertainties. To live in poverty is to live with daily dilemmas on issues many of us take for granted. If the power bill gets paid, the rent check might be short. If the car breaks down and must be repaired so that people can get to work, then the phone bill might go unpaid. In this whirlwind of decision-making, sometimes routine health and wellness care doesn’t just take a back seat, they aren’t even in the vehicle.
This can be true of dental care. Those at or near the poverty level are at risk for unmet dental care. They often lack information about available services and support, and are unable to access basic dental services, let alone emergency dental needs. Many people go without dental care at all and can suffer from painful dental conditions. Dental problems can not only affect someone’s ability to work and care for families, but can also lead to numerous ongoing additional health issues. The Adult Dental Clinic of Interfaith Ministries is devoted to providing access to dental care for the underserved residences of Calhoun County. Once a week screening of clients takes place at the offices of Interfaith Ministries. Referrals are then made to our dental clinic or to those dentists who are available to take emergency appointments. In 2017 Interfaith proudly served 524 people and expended over $29,000 in outsourced care.
The contribution of your valuable skills and time will help Interfaith Ministries continue this much needed mission.

MINNESOTA'S HEROES ORTHODONTIC PROGRAM I.
Description and documentation of grant expenditures We worked with two individuals associated with Survivor Outreach Services in Minnesota: Rick Jackson, PME Contractor, Survivor Outreach Services, Minnesota Coordinator – Twin Cities Metro and Gail J Springborg, PME Contractor, Army Survivor Outreach Services. Both were instrumental in contacting potential families in Minnesota who have children who may benefit from this program. Because of privacy issues, we could not mail notices to potential Gold Star Families, but Rick and Gail contacted families for us. Although we had anticipated some mailing expenses, none were incurred. In the future, we will do mailings to those who have completed the program to contact other Gold Star Families they know to see if they want to participate. Since this will be over a period of several years, we do still anticipate using the funds. So, it would be beneficial for us to retain the grant for future use, if possible. There are indirect expenses for this program related to auditing of the program and the filing non-profit tax returns, but we have not used the $500 grant for these expenses.
II.
Please provide a short narrative of the project This program started in 2015 and the two initial children who received orthodontic treatment have completed their active treatment. In the last few months, three new families have initiated the application process and it is anticipated that they will start treatment in the near future. It is also possible we will treat one of the surviving spouses. An article about one of the children treated appeared in the Marshall, MN Independent newspaper: http://www.marshallindependent.com/news/local-news/2017/11/dentist-giving-back/
Dr. Greg Lecy in Marshall, left, was able to provide Allison Kahler of Granite Falls with braces. Kahler’s father was killed in Afghanistan while serving in the Army. Page 15
III.
Evaluation of Project We knew when we started this program four years ago that it would take time since we are dealing with a very limited number of families in Minnesota. But to think that in 2019 we will have had two children finish treatment and another three or four more potential patients in treatment, we are very pleased with the progress to date. It is just a small token of appreciation for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the security of our country. Thank you for your support of this important program for Gold Star Families.

12/18/2018 To whom it may concern, Please accept my sincere thanks on behalf of Operation Smile for being awarded the International College of Dentists Foundation Henry Schein Cares Humanitarian Stimulus Grant. I would also like to extend my sincerest gratitude to Dr. Allen H. White III for nominating Operation Smile. Operation Smile is an international medical charity that has provided hundreds of thousands of free surgeries for children and young adults living in developing countries who are born with cleft lip, cleft palate or other dental and facial conditions. One of the very wonderful and unique aspects of Operation Smile is that in addition to the thousands of medical volunteers from around the world who help to advance our mission we also involve students in our philanthropy. Operation Smile sends high school student teams out on most of our medical missions. Our high school teams have two primary roles on a mission. Their first responsibility is to show love to, and to comfort the children who have travelled to the mission sites to receive surgery. Our student teams also play the role of educators on our medical missions. Our patients and their families are usually coming from communities where they lack access to any kind of medical care. Our student teams teach medical modules to the families who are at the mission sites in order to pass along valuable health and wellness knowledge. The modules our students teach are: -
CPR (The importance of) Hand Washing Oral Rehydration Therapy Burn Care Basic Nutrition Dental Hygiene
The Operation Smile Student Programs department has recently formed a wonderful partnership with StarSmilez, a company that creates high quality oral health products that help health professionals deliver their oral health messages more effectively. StarSmilez makes a line of plush animals that have very realistic teeth. They are wonderful tools to demonstrate dental hygiene techniques to young people. Our student teams have started taking these plush animals around the world and have started using them as the centerpiece of their dental hygiene presentations. Our student teams have recently taken the StarSmilez animals to: Malawi, Panama, Paraguay, Morocco, the Philippines, India and Guatemala. Our students have used these plush animals to present dental hygiene presentations to over 2000 people in these countries within the past four months alone. Our plan is to send StarSmilez plush animals into the field with all of our student teams in 2019 where they will reach around 10,000 people over the course of the year.
Page 18
The StarSmilez plush animals have proven to be a fun, interactive tool that our student teams can use to interact with children, and teach them proper teeth brushing techniques and other important dental hygiene concepts. The Operation Student Programs department used the $500 ICD Grant to purchase 21 StarSmilez plush animals for our student teams to take into the field. We hope to be able to purchase more sets of these wonderful animals every year to send around the world and help spread the importance of dental hygiene! Thank you again for choosing Operation Smile as the recipient of the 2018 International College of Dentists Foundation Henry Schein Cares Humanitarian Stimulus Grant! Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or desire any additional information. All the best,

#2 On September 29 & 30, 2018, the Rhode Island Oral Health Foundation held its 6th Rhode Island Mission of Mercy (RIMOM) Free Dental Clinic at the Providence Community Health Centers (PCHC) in Providence RI. Procedures ranged from basic restorative, to complicated oral surgery. In many cases the results were life changing, Many of the stories that the patients told were eye openers as well, and taught us once again how truly complicated life can be and to not judge a book by its cover. See attached photo |stories |article.
#3 By most all measures we met our intended outcome for number of patient served at RIMOM 2018 and the services we provided. We were prepared to provide service to 600+ patients over the weekend but in reality, being at a new venue and not convening in 2017, providing definitive treatment to 425+ patients was in line with our more realistic goal. In treating 2018 as a pilot year we were learning the most effective and efficient way to provide treatment to as many patients as possible with respect and dignity. We feel this was most definitely achieved. On all accounts, we celebrate the undeniable success of RIMOM 2018 at its new downtown location. Countless hours for the better part of a year were spent planning for a new venue that encompassed 3 separate buildings and dental clinics on 2 separate floors.
Outcomes Patients served 425+ Procedures performed 2,000+ Value of donated service $376,000.00+ Services Provided X-Rays Oral Health screening Oral Cancer screening Oral Health instruction Fillings Root canal treatment (front teeth only) Tooth extractions Denture repairs Partial dentures to replace missing front teeth Ceramic Crowns Volunteers 475+ Community and professional volunteers Page 25
Each year there are patients that tug at our hearts more than others. This year for me it was a young man named Joseph. Joseph found me on Saturday after multiple extractions to thank me for organizing this event. He went on to tell me he was getting married in December and was excited to get his partial. He gave me a hug, thanked me again and walked away. Sunday morning, Joseph found me once again but this time with a big smile and in tears. He gave me another hug and thanked me again. He said he had idea he would feel the way he did that moment. We shared a few celebratory tears together and then he went on to tell me how excited he was that he could smile at his bride on their wedding day and how his life was changed forever. After one last hug and a thank you, he walked away but this time with a more confident stride and with his head held high. It is moments like this we realize what we do does in fact change lives. Our Dental Triage lead shared this story. A patient come in on Saturday for extractions on lower anteriors and restore with a lower partial denture. This was her primary concern because she said that only her lower teeth were visible when she talked. But I could tell that she had trained her mouth to not have her upper teeth visible because she had a single upper anterior nonrestorable broken tooth. We tried to convince her that she should also get her upper teeth completed as well and that she would smile more. However she was not convinced saying "I don't smile ever, so I don't need it". So we respected her choice and sent her up to Prosthetics and Oral Surgery. The next day, she came back through Triage for additional restorative treatment. At first I couldn't recognize her...she was smiling! Thanks to Prosthetics and Oral Surgery team they convinced her to also get the upper tooth extracted and got both arches completed with new partials. When I asked her what she thought...she said "You can't take this smile away from me".

WHO: Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation WHAT: Texas Mission of Mercy free dental clinic for veterans WHEN: NOVEMBER 9-10, 2018 WHERE: Farmers Branch Community Recreation Center, 14050 Heartside Place, Farmer’s Branch (Dallas Area), TX 75234
Free Dental Clinic to provide much-needed dental services to Veterans Austin—The Texas Mission of Mercy clinic is coming to Dallas on November 9-10, 2018 at Farmers Branch Community Recreation Center. Dallas County Dental Society joins them as the lead sponsor for this 2-day clinic. Only a limited number of veterans can access dental care through the VA, leaving many in need. According to the US Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans only qualify for full dental benefits if they meet certain criteria, such as being 100% disabled due to service-related injuries, or being a former prisoner of war. According to the American Dental Association, even veterans who qualify may have difficulty receiving care due to the distance from a VA hospital. Untreated dental problems often lead to more serious health issues. The Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation (TDASF) is working to address this need. With their Texas Mission of Mercy (TMOM), a mobile dental clinic that hosts 4 events across Texas each year, volunteer dentists are working to provide appropriate dental care. TDASF’s mission is to improve access to dental care to the underserved of Texas and educate the public and profession about the importance of oral health care. “Our volunteer dental professionals’ primary focus is on relieving pain and preventing infection by providing extractions, fillings, and cleanings. In limited cases, replacing missing front teeth or repairing partial dentures may be available to restore a smile,” said Judith Gonzalez, director of TDASF. “We are looking forward to bringing our free dental clinic to the Dallas area to help serve veterans who are suffering from dental pain. We couldn’t do this without the help of over 100 volunteer dentists, and over 500 lay volunteers, many from right here in the Dallas area,” said Judith Gonzalez, director of TDASF. Page 39
More than 100 volunteer dentists and over 500 volunteers from the dental profession, businesses, and community groups will provide care at the Dallas clinic. The services, which are free of cost, include basic, pain-relieving and preventive procedures such as dental cleanings, fillings, and extractions. This clinic will also be able to provide a limited number of front partial dentures so that some patients leave with new smiles. It is anticipated that up to 1,000 patients will receive treatment during the 2-day clinic. Patients seeking care should plan to arrive by 5:00 AM on either Friday, November 9 or Saturday, November 10 at Travis High School to register. TMOM is a first-come, first-served event, and the clinic will stop accepting patients once capacity is reached. Patients must bring their current medications. TMOM is a program of the Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation (TDASF) and supported by the Texas Dental Association. Since 2001, TDASF has held 72 mission events throughout Texas, providing care to more than 36,000 patients. For information or to volunteer, please contact TDASF Missions Manager Sara Harney at 512-448-2441 ext. 203 or visit www.tdasf.org. About the Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation The Texas Dental Association Smiles Foundation (TDASF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public and profession about oral health and improving access to dental care for the citizens of Texas. Since 2001, Texas dentists have treated more than 38,000 patients and provided more than $27 million in charitable dental care through the organization. For every $1 donated, TDASF is able to provide $8 worth of care, and individual financial support is critical in helping us achieve our mission. For more information or to donate, please visit www.tdasf.org. TDASF is the affiliated foundation of the Texas Dental Association. Chartered in 1871, the Texas Dental Association (TDA) is the third largest state dental association in the United States. The Association has more than 9,000 members and is comprised of 26 local component dental societies grouped into 4 divisions across the state of Texas. The TDA is part of a tripartite affiliation with the American Dental Association at the national level and community dental societies at the local level.

VETERANS' DENTAL CARE COALITION BACKGROUND FROM A RECENT GRANT APPLICATION https://www.atsu.edu/stlcenter/projects.html#smile-forward-veteran
Tooth loss is a significant problem in Missouri. In 2012, the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) found that the state’s rate for complete tooth loss among those 65+ was 24.9%, significantly exceeding the national average of 16.1%. Both rural and urban populations face access issues because dentists are disproportionately located in suburbs. According to DHSS, the state’s southeastern region has the highest rates of tooth loss among older residents (32.6% had complete tooth loss) and lowest dental visit rates (48.1% had a dental visit in prior year vs. national average of 67.2%). Lack of oral health coverage is a profound barrier to care. A 2012 Congressional report states numerous Veterans are ineligible for dental benefits through the Veterans’ Administration (VA), a problem in both rural and urban areas. (The VA only provides dental coverage for those who are 100% disabled.) Medicare—the primary source of health insurance for people 65+—does not provide coverage for most oral healthcare, including routine treatments like cleanings. According to National Public Radio (NPR), few practicing dentists in southeastern Missouri accept Medicaid. While a MOSDOH faculty member, project director Dr. Herbert Silva—a former Marine— has encountered many Veterans with substantial dental issues who are unable to afford treatment. Given this great need, Dr. Silva and team are determined to give back to Veterans who have already given so much for our country. Before enrolling in MOSDOH Veterans Project, participants are living with extensive tooth decay or loss, which can hinder talking, smiling, employment security, confidence, and healthy living. Daily tasks like eating are profoundly impacted by dental problems. Extensive tooth issues can require people to consume easy-to-chew, unhealthy foods and forego nutrient-dense options like fruits, vegetables, and meats. Oral health problems also negatively impact speech, social interaction, and self-esteem. Dentures restore the ability to eat nutritious food and increase overall physical and psychosocial well-being. MOSDOH Veterans Project (MVP) began in August 2017 to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the School’s parent institution, ATSU, a 501(c)(3) organization. Inspired by the University’s strong commitment to caring for the underserved, MVP provides Veterans with much-needed oral healthcare in the form of free full or partial dentures and related services. Denture fit is assessed and perfected during multiple visits over a 2-month period. Despite starting only ~17 months ago, MVP has already provided 73 Veterans with life-changing care. Teams of volunteer student dentists and licensed dental faculty provide services at each visit. To ensure continuity of care, each Veteran is assigned a team that provides complete denture services. This consistency reduces patient anxiety and allows trainees to practice developing strong relationships with patients. Services are provided at the Dental Center, ~2 miles from downtown St. Louis. Veterans are primarily from St. Louis and rural southeastern Missouri (mainly Stoddard County, near the “Bootheel”). Both St. Louis City and Stoddard County have been designated Dental
Page 41
Health Professional Shortage Areas by the federal government, meaning dentist supply does not meet demand and residents struggle to access care. MVP collaborates with partners and volunteers to identify Veterans in need and provide care at a fraction of typical costs. While customary fees for denture-related care are ~$5,150 per patient, MOSDOH and partners worked tirelessly to secure deep discounts on related services such as extractions, lab fees, and clinic rates, while also securing substantial volunteer time. Further, MOSDOH operates in a safety net setting (a community health center), where treatment fees are already reduced for patients who would otherwise fall through the cracks. The project setting, generous partners, and enthusiastic volunteers allow MVP to provide dentures at just 10% of the typical rate (~$500/patient lab fees) and at no cost to Veterans. Dr. Silva and team maintain successful partnerships that provide deep discounts and a steady stream of Veteran-patients-in-need. MOSDOH’s partnership with Affinia Healthcare, the community health center system that manages the School’s clinical training environment, ensures trainees have opportunities to engage in the wide variety of dental procedures required for graduation and licensing. In its initial 2+ years of operations, this 92-chair facility (known as the Dental Center) provided space for 54,147 encounters with patients from numerous diverse and disadvantaged groups. These striking numbers reveal how it is possible to recruit participants in part via standard clinical operations. Recruitment is also accomplished through special Dental Center events, such as free dental screenings in honor of Veterans’ Day. As individuals are treated at special events and beyond, word of mouth is resulting in increased Veteran “walk-ins.” Currently at the Dental Center, several Veterans are undergoing early stages of denture treatment (exams, extractions, etc.) and will need full or partial dentures in the near future, and 22 Veterans are already in later stages of denture fittings. Beyond contributing to a steady participant pool, Affinia also generously supports project efforts by providing reduced clinic fees for denture services. Project efforts to date also involve Lighthouse Church of Dexter, Missouri (in Stoddard County). Dr. Silva was inspired to begin MVP based on MOSDOH’s collaboration with Lighthouse Church at their Smiles of Hope Dental Clinic, which—through the work of licensed volunteer dentists—provides tooth extractions to needy patients at only $5 per tooth, with Veterans receiving free extractions. MOSDOH faculty and students travel to Smiles of Hope a few times a year as a community service initiative to help provide these much-needed and extremely discounted services. Smiles of Hope capacity and equipment only allow for extractions, so, while clinic work addresses pain, infection, and decay, it also leaves many patients in need of full or partial dentures. Leaders at Smiles of Hope and Dr. Silva recognized this need and the vast numbers of Veterans impacted by this problem. Still today, many MVP participants hail from southern Missouri. Currently, ~30 area Veterans have obtained services at Smiles of Hope and await an opportunity to participate in MVP. These individuals have already received extractions, engaged in the required waiting period for healing, and are ready for denture fabrication.
Page 42
Other generous project partners include Dental Arts Laboratories (which provides reduced rates for MVP) and Kulzer (a medical supply company which provides complimentary denture teeth for MVP). All care is provided by volunteers (licensed dental faculty and student dentists), who enthusiastically give up time on Saturdays to provide these life-changing services. MVP start-up expenses were covered by MOSDOH’s parent institution to honor our heritage and mission to focus on community health and underserved populations. Additionally, project efforts have been supported through ATSU’s Missouri Smile Forward: Veterans, an uncompensated care fund created to provide vital oral healthcare services for Veterans with little or no dental insurance benefits who demonstrate financial need. To date, this fund has raised $15,263.50 via contributions by faculty, staff, and various external supporters in the community. A great need still exists, so MOSDOH hopes to partner with others to transform Veterans’ lives. By accessing this life-changing care, Veterans are more likely to maintain good nutrition, display healthy levels of self-esteem, and experience productive social and professional lives. Student dentists have the opportunity to enhance their clinical skills and gain more cultural awareness, both of which increase their ability to provide effective and compassionate care to future patients. Through this rewarding work, dental trainees are reminded of the importance of caring for various underserved populations and are therefore more likely to instill this value into their future dental practice. Past project accomplishments suggest future work will continue to have a meaningful impact on both patients and providers. Testimonials from Those Impacted by MVP: “I just wanted you to know how I appreciate the work that you put in to bring my smile back. Those that supported us were phenomenal. It has been several years since I can remember ever smiling and being able to show my teeth. Along with my smile, I have my dignity. I thank you for all you have done for me! It means more than you will ever know, more than words could ever say.”— MVP Veteran “Working with Dr. Silva on the Veteran denture project has been the highlight of my dental school career. The Veteran was in dire need of dentures but had no means of payment. Through the denture project, MOSDOH was able to restore the Veteran’s ability to eat and his confidence. During the 24- hour adjustment, he could barely contain his smile.”—Student Dentist “I’m going to see my grandkids. I can’t wait for them to see me now!”—MVP Veteran “The main reason I chose MOSDOH was the ability to give back to the community. MOSDOH's commitment to the community through the Veteran denture project is the pinnacle of community service.”—Student Dentist

The $500 was spent on printing brochures for the program (invoice and screenshot of brochure is included in this document). One of our challenges has been making sure that everyone in our community knows about the program. Brochures have proven to be a valuable way to get our information into the hands of the community. We are distributing brochures to other resource organizations, businesses and churches. Our program participants are taking brochures out with them to places they frequent to help us advertise more efficiently as well. The goal is to increase the number of people who participate in the program and improve the health of our community at the same time.
II.
Please provide a short narrative of project summary.
Volunteer For Dental’s (VFD) mission is to provide access to dental services and oral health education to low-income community members in exchange for volunteer service at local non-profit organizations. Participants qualify by being a resident of Muskegon or Oceana County, not having dental insurance and being low income at 250% of poverty or less. They are required to attend a dental health class to learn how to maintain their oral health and complete some volunteer hours in order to schedule their first dental appointment. Participants earn $25 worth of dental care for every hour they volunteer. VFD partners with around 30 local non-profit organizations where participants can volunteer. The program offers basic services including, x-rays, exams, fillings, tooth removal, cleanings and treatment for gum disease. All of the dental care is provided for free by local private dentists who volunteer the services during their workday in their office. This is a pay-it-forward program that is funded through grants, in-kind donations and individual giving.

Stories to be shared Veterans Testimonial
Booker is 63 years old, a veteran and began the program by volunteering at the LST 393 Veterans Museum. He said he enjoys the work and the camaraderie of other veterans while there. He started spending part of every day at the LST. While receiving his dental care he learned that a couple of his front teeth were not savable which would affect his smile. At the same time he was asked to step into a volunteer manager’s role at the LST 393. Booker called our office and expressed his concern over his smile being lost and his new position starting in a month or so. Volunteer For Dental was fortunate to receive funding to pay lab fees for 10 sets of dentures from the Muskegon County Senior Millage in 2018. Dr. John Leitner is the dentist providing dental services for Booker (pictured below). Dr. Leitner agreed to volunteer his services to make Booker removable partial dentures to replace the missing teeth once his other dental care was complete. He completed Booker’s treatment in time for him to start his new role at the LST. Having his smile restored gave Booker confidence as a leader, improved his self-esteem and he is very grateful for what he has received. Booker refers other volunteers from the LST to our organization to get dental help as well.

ICD MOSAIC PROJECT GRANT REPORT REQUIREMENTS Submission Deadline: December 31, 2018 I.
Description and documentation of grant expenditure — Please document how the $500 grant was spent.
The ICD Mosaic Project represents the diversity within our dental profession, addressing the need for outreach and inclusion in the healthcare system of vulnerable patients. We began by inviting our ICD faculty colleagues at The University of Texas School of Dentistry (UTSD) at Houston. Next we asked students to join us. Together we distribute toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss to the homeless, veterans and people with disabilities. While handing these out, we provide oral hygiene instructions and offer cancer screenings. Our profession is willing to help, but the need is great and we soon recognized the time necessary for and the difficulty in spreading the word. After much discussion, the ICD Mosaic Project directors enlisted a firm to help us respond to the growing health challenge. The $500 grant (see Mosaic invoice) was used to help expand the ICD Mosaic Project’s community outreach by purchasing a website domain, create a logo and to design a website. These costs would run in excess of $1,650. However due to the charitable nature of the ICD Mosaic Project, a courtesy discount of over $1,150 was offered to the ICD Mosaic Project. Through the $500 grant the community impact of the ICD Mosaic Project grew locally, nationally and globally. Now in addition to UTSD (faculty, alumni and students), our partners include Houston Community College Coleman (Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene programs), Greater Houston Dental Society, Texas Academy of General Dentistry, Colgate Oral Pharmaceuticals, American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry, and Crest Oral-B. We have helped many people in our city, our state and in July of this year 8 students and 3 faculty spent 2 weeks in China caring for people with disabilities while learning about another culture.
II.
Please provide a short narrative of project summary: The ICD Mosaic Project’s first objective is to help the less fortunate. The volunteers serve meals at soup kitchens while offering health information and encouragement to the homeless. Assistance is provided to veterans, persons with physical and intellectual disabilities, Special Olympics participants and those impacted by natural disasters. ICD Fellows encourage graduates to join organized dentistry and remain involved. - Photos, if available: Please see attachment (2 photo 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Stories to be shared: Please see attachment (3 story 1,2,3) and the ICD Mosaic Project website https://www.mosaicvolunteers.com - Press releases or articles about the project: Please see attachment (4 press 1,2,3,4,5)
