September 28 the mobile dental care program accepted a generous donation worth $20,000 on behalf of Patterson Dental: two Schick digital sensors and EagleSoft practice management software for our new mobile dental unit!
This technology will update our current system, which uses phosphorus plates and computer software to digitize the bite wing image. On average, it takes about two minutes to process. With this donation, images will be instantaneous and save us precious time treating patients on our new mobile dental unit, thus, increasing our patient reach across Oklahoma.
“This is an outstanding product that makes treatment planning a whole lot more accurate. This is something a lot of dental offices do not have,” said Terry Saunders, ODF Board Member and Territory Representative for Patterson Dental.
This donation was made possible by Saunders, and the assistance and approval of his Branch Manager Terry Gilchrist, and Regional Manager Clint Edens. Gilchrist and Edens were ultimately the decision makers and generously agreed to donate these items. “I know this will help the mobile unit for years to come. I want to thank Terry and Clint for taking it out of their budget and giving it to the Foundation,” Saunders said.
Our additional mobile unit will hit the road in 2013, and we’re happy to have Patterson’s support on the road and we fulfill the Foundation’s mission.
