Operational Report

FROM DUST TO DENTAL OPERATORY

From October 2008 to March 2009, the construction dust has settled and a newly renovated dental operatory has emerged. With donated time and materials, CG Schmidt did the construction work to transform the former occupational therapy office into a dental clinic. The plumbing and electrical work followed by installation of the equipment, and soon thereafter, we were up and running.

he Clinic’s First

OUR FIRST DAY

The Clinic first became operational on April 3, 2009. Dr. Rodriguez and Sue Trotter examined and treated 10 patients from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The children were referred by the public health nurses at the Green County Health Department and Monroe Clinic Pediatrics.

Fowler Memorial Dental Clinic celebrated its grand opening on May 9, 2009. Sixty-three people who attended were given a tour of the clinic. Children who completed a 30-day calendar signifying they brush and floss their teeth on a daily bases were presented with a special certificate. This is an ongoing effort to educate our patients on the importance of oral hygiene.

FAMILY GOLF PLAYDAY

Our first fundraising event was a Family Golf Playday held at the Decatur Lake Golf Club. Friends and supporters of the Clinic competed for prizes and awards.

The event raised over $3000 and everyone who participated had a great time. A special thanks to The Swiss Colony who was our major sponsor.

KIDS HAVE A DENTAL HOME

The Clinic began seeing WIC (Women, Infants and Children) clients in October 2009. Head Start students were screened in September 2009. Our Clinic is committed to providing a dental home for these children until they no longer require our services.

SIX MONTH CHECKUP

In November 2009, the Clinic began seeing patients that were last treated in April 2009. These patients were “recalled” for their 6-month cleaning and Rita Fortney was the first volunteer Dental Hygienist to see these patients. Since then, there have been more than 60 patients who received their six month cleanings. There is a roster with 60 more who are scheduled to receive their periodic exams and cleanings within the next few months.

3rd GRADE ORAL ASSESSMENT IN GREEN COUNTYFMFDC provided support for the WI Department of Health Services Oral Health Program through a joint effort to assess the dental health of 3rd graders in Green County. In January 2010 3rd graders in theAlbany, Brodhead, Juda, Monroe, Monticello and New Glarus school districts participated in oral screenings. Children were screened for cavities, critical dental needs and sealants. A total number of 349 students participated and among them:• 7 needed urgent dental care• 35 had cavities • 169 need sealants.

PORTABLE DENTAL EQUIPMENT

With generous donations from Monroe Clinic and Hospital Foundation, Alliant Energy and Monroe Woman’s Club, the Clinic purchased portable dental equipment.

This equipment allows us to treat students in the school setting and participate in community outreach programs such as the Wisconsin Seal-A-Smile program.
