BODY OF CHRIST COMMUNITY DENTAL CLINIC GRANT REPORT REQUIREMENTS Submission Deadline: Within one (1) year of grant award date I.

Description and documentation of grant expenditure — Please document how the$500 grant was spent. The $500 grant money was a very much needed addition to our supply budget for 2019. It was used to purchase supplies (composite material, burrs, bond agent, anesthetic carpules, needles, gloves, etc.).

II.

Please provide a short narrative of project summary. Body of Christ Community Clinic is a not-for-profit charity clinic that provides free dental care to the residents in East Bell County. Residents are living below 200% federal poverty levels and have no resource for dental care. There is no charge for services.

III.

Evaluation of Project —Please describe how the project was a success. Include all outcome measures such as economic impact, numbers of persons served, etc. Body of Christ Community Dental Clinic saw 953 patients this year for a total of 1055 patient visits. Value of services provided is almost $600,000. Some of these patients have never been to a dentist. Patient Story: “For as long as I can remember I've had reasons to smile, but the inability to do so. My faith, my family and my love were all affected. Not having the ability to smile for these reasons has been hard. The embarrassing moments, the constant pain, trying to work around people, smile, eat or even talk are just some of the challenges. It’s been a struggle to have the strength and to keep my faith. In Psalm 34:17it says "When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles.” To say that the Body of Christ Clinic has been a blessing, is the understatement of the year. They were an answer to a prayer that I've had for a long time. The dentists I worked with understood the fears that I had and comforted me.” Kenneth Marquardt, DDS: After 11 years of private practice and subsequently serving in the military for 20 years, the Body of Christ Community Dental Clinic is my third venue as a general dentist. The patients that we treat at Body of Christ are quite different than the healthy military members I have treated while serving my country. Many of the patients I see have high blood pressure, diabetes and a plethora of other medical conditions which are being treated by a long list of prescription medications. Unlike the military population who see the dentist regularly, by the time the patients at Body of Christ come in to see us for treatment their dental health is very compromised. This is in large part because of their

previous inability to receive dental care mostly due to financial constraints of the past. However, this situation affords us a tremendous opportunity to educate them in how they can care for their oral health. Through the support of the local community, Body of Christ is able to minister to their needs without the burden of finances. It is a blessing and an honor to treat the underserved of Belton and surrounding communities. There is a great need for dental care to those who would otherwise be unable to afford it and our patients are incredibly grateful for the services we provide...praise God for His goodness. Even though we cannot offer comprehensive dentistry because our own financial constraints, we do provide fillings, extractions, and cleanings for the population we serve. Recently, as a result of the generosity of the organizations that support our ministry, the Lord has given us the ability to provide endodontics (root canal treatment) to our patients. This enables us to save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Preserving or restoring the smiles of our patients is very important to almost everyone we treat. Gustav Gates, DDS: Thank you for supporting the mission of the Body of Christ Community Dental Clinic with this grant. It has been an honor to serve the patients at the clinic. Although I have had to take time off because of a back injury, when I am there the patients are very appreciative of our services and almost everyone says “God bless you” at the end of the appointment. I look forward to returning to the clinic to help these patients.

CARING HANDS OF MAINE DENTAL CENTER NORTHERN MAINE DENTAL OUTREACH WEEK Awaiting Report Submission Project Overview For the past 5 years our organization, the Caring Hands of Maine Dental Center, has sponsored a student outreach week for dental students at University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. A group of senior dental students (4-8), in addition to at least one faculty member, have traveled to Maine to provide no cost to patient’s dental work. Over the past several years the teams have traveled to islands, rural towns, nursing homes, tribal lands, and schools. Clinics are set up in gyms, schools, nursing homes, and even a roller rink. A full range of dental services are provided and this has been excellent clinical experiences for the participants. For the past several years the teams have traveled to the northern most county of Maine, Aroostook County, to provide care to underserved populations in this very rural portion of the state. We are seeking help with clinical supplies necessary for this week long event. Objectives To continue to provide no cost to patient care and continue to provide a service learning opportunity to the dental students participating in the program.

LOUISIANA DENTAL ASSOCIATION OPIOID AWARENESS 2020 Louisiana Dental Association Opioid Awareness 2020 Grant Report Prepared for the ICD USA Section Foundation and Henry Schein Cares Humanitarian Stimulus Grant

Name of Project: “Louisiana Dental Association (LDA) Opioid Awareness 2020” Purpose and Project Summary: The initial objective was to hold a contest for dentists’ children and dentists’ patients who are between the ages of 8 and 18 to submit artwork relative to our project. The contest theme was “Dentists in Louisiana Want to Give Opioids the Boot.” There were two categories separating the age groups (ages 8-12 and ages 13-18). The five-person committee selected winners in each category and then selected three honorable mention pieces of artwork. The one piece of artwork with the most votes was placed on the front cover of the Summer 2019 issue of the LDA Journal and a tear out was included that dentists can frame and display in their dental offices across the state, sending the message to all our patients that LDA member dentists are unified against drug addiction. Additionally, the artwork was turned into signage that was on display inside the Exhibit Hall of the New Orleans Dental Conference/LDA Annual Session in May 2019. Opioid Awareness 2020 committee members visited with guests as they passed the signs. The overall art contest winner was Cameron Basinger, a 15 year old from Caddo Magnet High School in Shreveport, La. His father is a dentist and member of the LDA. LDA President (and ICD member who applied for the grant) Dr. Kristi Soileau used her term as president to speak to various dental groups and components about the ADA’s call for dental health professionals to join in the fight against opioid addiction following the bipartisan call to arms on Capitol Hill March 2018. The contest and subsequent materials sent out to over 1,900 members via the LDA Journal, has given the LDA the opportunity to keep this issue and the national fight against opioid abuse at the forefront of their minds.

Dr. Troy Babb and Stormy Blair with art contest winners at the New Orleans Dental Conference and LDA Annual Session.

Dr. Soileau and Dr. Mark Chaney were also invited to speak to the LSU School of Dentistry Student Professionalism and Ethics Association (SPEA). SPEA in dentistry is a national, student driven association that was established to promote and support students’ lifelong commitment to ethical behavior in order to benefit the patients they serve and to further the dental profession. Dr. Soileau was able to have a nice discussion with these dental students about the opioid crisis and their responsibilities as future health care professionals.

SPEA students with Dr. Mark Chaney pictured with one of our opioid campaign banners in support of the LDA’s campaign to inform dentists of the call to join in the fight against opioid addiction.

Dr. Soileau also spoke to the University of New Orleans pre-dental society about the LDA’s opioid campaign.

What’s Next? Dr. Soileau, along with the other committee members Drs. Troy Babb, Michael Luminais, Lance Savoie, and Francesca Velasco, will continue to serve as needed to provide information and resources to our members. The LDA has also invited our parish coroner, Beau Clark, to present at the statewide leadership conference that will be held in Baton Rouge January 17, 2020. Invitees are state and component leadership. His topic will be “Louisiana’s Heroin Epidemic and the Overuse of Opioids” and his presentation will focus on the following: This nation is seeing its deadliest drug epidemic ever. Over the past five years, East Baton Rouge Parish has seen an alarming increase in the number of people dying from heroin and opioid overdoses which mirrors this national trend. This session will discuss why this epidemic has occurred and what some of the solutions are to overcoming this crisis, focusing on dentists as the attendees of this meeting. The intent is for the participants to take away five outcomes from the presentation: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Understand the definition, potency and tolerance of Heroin and how an overdose occurs. Understand the statistical analysis of Heroin and Opioid deaths in East Baton Rouge Parish. Understand why this Heroin and Opioid epidemic has occurred. Understand who the drug dealer is and who the drug user is in Louisiana. Understand the solution to the Heroin and Opioid epidemic.

Financials The LDA Journal sponsored the pages in both the Spring and Summer issues to both advertise for and include the winner’s tear out page for dentists’ offices. However, there was an additional printing charge of $300 to make the sign a tear out page. We also spent $249.35 on the signage that was used for the New Orleans Dental Conference/LDA Annual Session and is still available to use during other presentations, such as the coroner’s presentation in January. Additionally, we spent $475 on awards and certificates for art contest winners.

B. Summary of Project: Short Narrative of Program Success: The program results are easily summarized in a few statistics: 2,102 patients served with oral health treatment and care; the extended families and friends of patients provided with oral health and preventative dental care education sessions and take-home materials (estimated at approximately 1,500 to 1,800); 136 dentists and medical doctors providing dental/medical care; 239 registered dental assistants providing care; 11 pharmacists providing prescription services, 43 RNs an Lab Technicians providing lab testing services and 382 lay volunteers providing turn-key reception, processing and educational information distribution to patients, their families and friends as they departed from the free clinic.

A heart-felt moment was experienced first-hand by the Executive Director of ARMOM, Dr. Terry Fiddler, when a middle-aged woman approached him with the question, “Are you Dr. Fiddler, the leader of these Angels?” To which Dr. Fiddler responded, Yes, I am, but [jokingly] the devil has angels too!” The woman smiled broadly with a hearty laugh saying, “…look at my smile, these teeth have been made new you and your Angels! You and your associates are indeed my ‘mobile miracle workers!” The woman hugged Dr. Fiddler with a warm smile and bear-hug, saying you will never know how you have helped me in my time of need, having lost my husband recently and no with no access to dental care. ARMOM has been a salvation for me: you are my mobile miracle workers!” Dr. Fiddler relates that this moment at ARMOM 2019 Springdale happened to be captured by the local TV station, with the crew asking the woman is she would consent to a full interview, which she did with great praise for ARMOM and its fine work in Northwest Arkansas. The other note of success from this event is that three of the ARMOM volunteers, young students with high hopes of being accepted into dental college for next year, have all three been accepted!
