and restorative dental care and, if necessary, make referrals for continuing treatment for
children ages 12 and under as part of National Children’s Dental Health Month (CDHM).
The one-day program, called Give Kids a Smile! (GKAS), will take place on Friday,
February 7, 2014, and is part of the American Dental Association’s (ADA) annual push
to bring attention to the number one childhood disease, tooth decay.
“Giving back to the community that has supported my practice is so important,” says
Dr. Romano. “This program will touch the lives of so many of New
Jersey’s children who need oral healthcare, but cannot afford it. I am proud to be a part of
it,” he said.
Children who come to Dr. Romano’s office on Friday will receive a comprehensive
dental exam, oral healthcare instruction, fluoride treatments, and free dental hygiene
materials including toothbrushes, floss and toothpaste. Appointments are necessary from 8-1. The office will also have “Simon Mandal” the world greatest magician who will be performing for the children. It promises to be a fun-filled day for all children who take part.
Last February, in New Jersey alone, 2,000 children visited 140 sites across the state, including private dental offices like Dr. Sam Romano’s. In New Jersey GKAS is supported by Colgate, Henry Schein Delta and Delta Dental of NJ.
Dr. Romano has been practicing dentistry for more than 28 years here in
Madison. His practice, Dr. Samuel Romano, is located at 120 Park Avenue. www.drsamromano.com
