July 14, 2017 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com • 5A Help kids build strong teeth By Sue Cody Jeremy Sisseck Dec. 6, 1977 — June 16, 2017 For EO Media Group On a cloudy day in May, third-graders at Warrenton Grade School eagerly brushed the teeth on big puppets, flossed markings off building blocks, painted fluoride on pictures of teeth, wiped “sug- ar bugs” off a board repre- senting teeth, and watched as magnets representing sticky, sweet foods stuck to teeth, while healthier foods did not. Part of Providence Healthy Smiles, the five-year pro- gram is funded by the Oregon Community Foundation and Providence Seaside Hospital to educate school children and their parents about the importance of dental care and access to it. Dental decay is the most common childhood chronic disease, according to the Or- egon Health Authority, and 58 percent of third-graders have tooth decay. “If left untreated, dental disease can be devastating to children’s health, educational success, productivity, self-im- age and future,” writes Alana Kujala, manager of communi- ty partnerships and volunteer services at Providence Sea- side Hospital. Mackenna Taylor, pro- gram coordinator, works with school nurses and staff to bring resources to Clatsop County schools. Different ages are targeted each year. “Nothing makes your day better than spending time with kids,” Taylor says. “Kids are eager to learn and with hands- on activities, they catch on fast.” Students sit on the floor as Taylor asks how often they should floss and brush their teeth, what foods and drinks contain the most sugar, etc. In orderly groups, the stu- dents visit each of the five stations hosted by volunteers. Parents and Tongue Point Job Corps students in the dental hygiene program manned the tables at Warrenton. “I love that the schools support this program,” says Ruth Evans, one of the stu- OBITUARIES SUBMITTED PHOTO School volunteer Paul Fredericksen shows kids how to floss. dent volunteers. Bethany Burd, another Job Corps vol- unteer, says she likes volun- teering with kids because they have such an interesting way of looking at things. “This is a fantastic oppor- tunity to improve this com- munity,” says Paul Frederick- sen, a parent volunteer. He is a medic in Tillamook who loves his schedule, which allows him to spend a maximum amount of time volunteering at school. Free dental care Healthy Smiles gets kids off to a good start, and anoth- er Providence program helps adults get free dental care. Most adults have some oral disease. About one in five adults have lost six or more teeth, according to the Oregon Health Authority. Parked outside Providence Seaside Hospital is a mo- bile dental van. Hygienists and dental assistants screen patients for needs and can place sealants on teeth. About once a month, dentists volun- ‘I like to deal with pleasant little people — they smile and giggle.’ Mackenna Taylor, program coordinator teer to offer free fillings and extractions for people who don’t have dental insurance. Taylor assists parents with options for oral health care and how to navigate the sys- tem. At the hospital, she can take people to Clatsop Com- munity Action’s Community referral desk, where Marcello Hernandez can provide con- nections to all sorts of social services. Oral health care is one of seven target areas the Oregon Health Improvement Plan identified to improve by the year 2020. The Way to Well- ville encourages dental check- ups and teeth cleaning as a key to good health. “When one has pain from a tooth or gum problem, it af- fects everything,” Taylor says “I like to deal with pleasant little people — they smile and giggle.” Our most beloved son, brother and friend, Jeremy Sisseck was born on Dec. 6, 1977, to Carey Birken- feld and Michael Sisseck. He was raised in the Seaside area. He was an entrepreneur and loved being involved in all of his business en- deavors. His kind, generous and caring spirit will be re- membered and treasured by all who knew him. He was always there for ev- erybody and knew just the right thing to say and do to help them out. He enjoyed life to the fullest and loved snowboarding, helicopter skiing, running, bicycling and spending time with his family and friends. He was planning on retiring soon, simplifying his life and then enjoy traveling the world. He will leave a big hole in the lives of his parents; sister Cassie and husband Chris; the love of his life, Ashley Grider; his grand- mother Alice Sisseck; his aunt and uncle, Irene and Perry Smith; Uncle Jerry Obituary Policy Experience Family Dining in a Relaxed & Friendly Environment Serving Seafood, Pizza, Sandwiches, Espressos, Beer, Wine, Ice Cream and our Homemade Desserts NORTH COAST DOOR CO.
