Danger sometimes lurks out of sight, hidden deep in the roots of a child's jaw. With regular dental exams and X-rays, health hazards can be found-and treated-before becoming a problem.
Eve had a scary lesion at the base of her front teeth. Left untreated, it would have caused pain while eating, led to expensive treatments, and Eve would have lost her smile.
Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to acquire a
Digital Panoramic X-ray (that's a mouthful!) that caught the lesion right away!
We were able to refer Eve to a specialist, one of our community partners,
Nevada Health Centers, ensuring Eve can continue to smile beautifully and brightly.
