‘Share a Smile’ is a group of dentists, dental assistants, ophthalmologists, physicians and nurses who has one vision in life and that is to help make a change to bring great smiles to other people.
The group’s last mission for this year was to visit Montezuma Creek, Utah and reach out to our Navajo Indian brothers and sisters. Almost one hundred medical professionals has taken the time-off and sacrificed their salary to be able to help other people. The recent Utah Education Association made way for these medical professionals to offer their services free of charge to almost 150 kids studying in Aneth Community School.
The members of the Share a Smile group didn’t just provide their professional service they even made a few tweaks to the school by making a landscape and building a house very near the school for a single mother. Eileen Bidstrup didn’t mind scarifying a day or two of not earning her dental assistant salary for the sale of helping out in the out-reach program.
Dr. Eric Vogel is the founder of Share a Smile which also happened to be Eileen’s employer. In fact Ms. Bidstrup is the co-founder of Share a Smile that aims to help other people and family live a more decent and comfortable life through simple ways. The said group has been making a change in providing free dental care and other types of medical assistance for over ten years now. Share a Smile has encouraged a lot of medical practitioners and even other professionals to participate in bring hope to people who were deprived to have a good life. Eileen and Dr. Vogel said that their team is working to help as a token of appreciation to our creator for giving them wonderful blessings the whole year, in return they want to thank God by sharing the blessings they have received. The last decade was a fun and rewarding travel to different countries to provide healthcare packages and medical assistance to people who has been a victim of calamities as well as very depressed areas.
Bidstrup even added that their group has always been guided by the Lord wherein every place they visit and every mission they go to is like a miracle crafted by God. “In every mission we do, we would always encounter a problem and despite the fact that we think it would be impossible for us to pull through it we always get the problem resolved and settled along the way. It’s like God wants us to succeed no matter how hard the obstacles maybe he is there watching us and he will remove every obstacles that comes our way just so we can continue with our journey to help”.
The group stayed in Montezuma Creek for four days and they were able to provide eye glasses to the students as well as their parents courtesy of Dr. Scott Lohner. Dental technicians provided dentures and crowns to those who needed it. On the other hand dentists have filled in cavities, performed root canal and prophylaxis to students and everyone there during the mission. The principal of the school is overly blessed to have Share a Smile visit their area because she badly needed medical attention. The principal thought that she only has a sore through but later on was found out to be a large abscess that needs to be removed surgically. Brenda Whitehorse (Principal) got her abscess removed successfully and among everyone else she is the one who really consider that Share a Smile is indeed heaven sent.
