Partnership Helps Children in Guatemala Pulpdent Corp., a dental research, development and manufacturing company, has partnered with Mil Milagros (A Thousand Miracles) and is donating Embrace Fluoride Varnish to the not-forprofit organization. Mil Milagros works in partnership with mothers, grandmothers and teachers in rural Guatemala to prevent child malnutrition and hunger, and to improve the health and education of the children and the communities. The organization also partners with local public schools to implement oral health care and hygiene and to train volunteers how to provide oral hygiene instruction and how to apply fluoride varnish as part of its program. More than 60 teachers are also trained to support the daily tooth brushing programs that are part of each school day. For more information or to get involved, visit milmilagros.org. 22 Henry Schein has announced its donation of more than $12,000 in oral health products to The Smiles for Life Foundation in support of three humanitarian visits to underserved communities in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic and Nepal. As part of its agreement with The Smiles for Life Foundation, Henry Schein's donation will be divided between the foundation's three missions, which are scheduled for later this spring. At each mission site, volunteer oral health professionals will work with local dentists and hygienists to provide treatment- including cleanings, root canals and implants-and oral hygiene education to the local population. Volunteers also provide ongoing training to the local practitioners to ensure that community members are able to access care on a continuing basis. The foundation is the children's charity arm of Crown Council, an international association of independent dental practices committed to promoting oral health, fighting oral cancer and serving communities. The donation is an initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the company's global social responsibility program, and continues Henry Schein's nine-year partnership with The Smiles for Life Foundation. More than 1,000 volunteers from the United States and Canada have treated thousands of patients during 29 foundation expeditions since 2007.
