American Indian dentists
The Society of American Indian
Dentists held their first meeting
April 24-26 in Denver, Colorado.
This historic event marked the be
ginning of efforts to support the
American Indian dentists and to
encourage more young people to
pursue careers in dentistry. It is
hopeful that this organization will
follow in the success of it's model
group, the Association of Amer
ican Indian Physicians, and be
beneficial in promoting the health

Dental Clinic
Recent news
The dental clinic has been short
staffed for the past 7 months with
the departure of Orpha Bluehouse,
who returned to the Phoenix area.
This has left only two people to run
the dental program, which is too
few to do everything that needs to
be done. We would like to fill this
position in the near future and are
willing to provide on the job train
ing for this position. If you are
interested or know of someone
who is, have them contact Dr.
Dexter at the dental clinic. This is
an excellent opportunity for some
one interested in a dental career.
Because April was such a busy
month, we were unable to get the
newsletter out for the month of
May. Fortunately, the April news
letter was so good that it was good
enough for two months (or was it
that we just had two months worth
of copies?). Anyway, we are back
and we would like to take this
opportunity to bring you up to
date on what is happening at the
dental clinic.

Tooth talk
Baby Bottle Tooth Decay will
remain a serious problem affecting
everyone in the community until
everyone commits to changing it.
You can do something about it,
and should do something about it.
Remember, each BBTD case sent
out for contract care is spending
the money that could pay for com
plete for 4 adults and you can't
get a referral for contract care? It
can be prevented, there is no ex
cuse!! If we allow it weareenablcrs
to the problem and not helping
each other- and think of the child,
it can be very painful, traumatic
and unhealthy. Lets help each
other and help ousrelves- Stop
Baby Bottle Tooth Decay!!

Warm Springs Elementary School
recently had sealants placed on
their teeth by students from the

clinic that has the potential of
preventing 489 cavities.
Since sealants are a non-invasive
procedure, requiring no shots or
drilling of the teeth, it is a relatively
easy procedure tor the children and
easy for students to apply. The
benefit of having the students do
the sealant program is it allows us
to continue our clinic as usual and
to do the sealants using portable
dental units. We want to thank all
of the super patients who had the
sealants done and we want to
thank the parents who signed their
children up for this benefit. If your
child did not participate and you
are interested, contact the
clinic. Also, if your child has lost a
sealant, that happens, contact the
clinic to have it reapplied. Once
again, thanks to all who partici
pated we look forward to sealing
the rest of the children next time.
