Empowering or Enabling?





We know THIS is not what a child's mouth should look like.  And yet, we see it all too often. 
As the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Dental Foundation, I get the opportunity to see lots of great work happening in the world of dentistry in Oklahoma.  Now, with the MobileSmiles Oklahoma program, we have the ability to work in more parts of the state, treat more patients and touch more lives in great ways. 

The responsibility also causes us to ask new questions.  I've raised a few HERE - especially the issue of whether we are accomplishing our goal of helping people in the best way we know how.
