PROGRAM: Although Darrin Wicks arranged our program Kathy Hanks introduced our guests Dr. Jon Tilton DDS and Dr. Susan Evans DDS. Local dentist Dr. Evans is the local coordinator for the Kansas Mission of Mercy dental program. Dr. Tilton explained that the program began in 2003 and is one of the projects of the Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation to provide free dental care to all ages of patients in Kansas. Since 2003 they have provided over $16 million dollars worth of free dental care to over 27,800 patients in 10 different Kansas cities. Normally only one event is held per year due to the magnitude. February 9-10, 2018 will be their second visit to Hutchinson having been here previously in 2011, helping 1,638 patients in those 2 days. Their main focus is cleanings, filings and extractions although they will try to help with other dental needs. Unfortunately about 3,500 teeth were extracted during that last visit here. It takes hundreds of licensed dentists and hygienists who donate their talents along with a small army of volunteers to provide for the necessary peoplepower for the two-day event. It also takes a large amount of mobile dental equipment. Videos, free literature and free dental supplies are provided while patients wait for treatment. If you would like to volunteer to help work, provide food or other items needed for the workers during the event or a cash contribution; please contact Dr. Evans at 620-663-5297.
