For months, a father carried the heavy weight of concern for his young daughter. He saw the decay in her front teeth and knew her back teeth had decay as well. He longed to see her smile with confidence and live free from pain, but the reality of multiple decayed teeth felt overwhelming.
He shared that he had managed to take his daughter to the dentist, but only paid for a single treatment. It had already cost him a lot, and he wasn’t sure how he could pay for the rest. The uncertainty weighed on him, as he wanted to see his daughter’s teeth fixed but didn’t know how to make it happen.
Then hope broke through. He heard the School Dental Program would be visiting his daughter’s school. To him, it felt like a door opening – a way forward when he had seen none.
Relief and joy filled his face. What once seemed impossible now became possible. The program meant his daughter would finally receive the care she needed, restoring not just her teeth but her smile, and giving him peace of mind.
For this father, the School Dental Program wasn’t just about dental treatment. It was an answered prayer.
