Wanting to Sell your Practice? Looking for an Associate
Dentist? Then plan to atend the Real World Transition
Brunch during the UMKC Midwest Dental Conference
on Friday April 12, 2013, from 9:00 AM 11:30 AM
Dentists and representatives of a dental practice or pub-
lic health clinics are invited to atend the Kansas Dental
Associations Real World Transition Brunch.
If you are looking for an associate or wanting to sell
your practice, this is an event that will provide one-on-
one networking with dental students who are approach-
ing the transition to the Real World.
All UMKC dental students and all
Kansas students from Creighton
University and the University of Ne-
braska have been invited to atend.
For further networking, all dentists
will be provided a list of atending
students and students will be pro-
vided a list of atending dentists.
In addition to dentists, profession-
als in the dental industry have been
invited and will be present at dif-
ferent stations to answer students
questions. The stations will include:
fnancing, insurance, ADA and KDA
membership, public health represen-
tatives, the AEGD Wichita program,
the new KIND program, and a tran-
sition specialist.
We invite you to bring print materi-
als and business cards to help with
marketing. Each dentist will not
have an individual table to set up
banners, signs or have access to an
electrical outlet. Students will be able
to identify you with a name tag.

KDA Announces 1st Kansas initiative for
new Dentists (KinD) scholarship Awardees
communities in key areas of Kansas, we are delighted
to match these talented future dentists with great dental
practice opportunities, stated Dr. Stan Wint, a member
of the Delta Dental Foundation of Kansas Board of Di-
rectors. The problem facing our state isnt so much one
of too few dentists as it is one of geographic distribution.
Thats what makes this KIND initiative so promising.
The students are:
Nathan Schmidt, a third year dental student at the
University of Missouri Kansas City School of Den-
tistry who intends to practice dentistry in Wallace
County;
Britany Owens, a second year dental student at the

Set a goal to help the KDA in 2013
The turn of the calendar year is a
great time to refect on the past but
more importantly, to develop goals
for the New Year. This is true for
our personal lives as well as our
practices. However, have you ever
thought about goal seting for the
KDA and organized dentistry? I
must admit I wouldnt have in the
past but now as president I clearly
see the need. I am asking that all
members of our state dental associa-
tion consider what you can do to
help strengthen our organization at
this critical time.
When I took the reigns as presi-
dent of the KDA in June, I went on
record stating two areas of focus
or agendas for my term. The frst
is membership. This means that all
levels of the tripartite (ADA, KDA
and your local district) need to
convert more dentists to join. With
the direction and leadership of Jen-
nifer Jones from the KDA ofce, and
members on the KDA membership
commitee, we are well on our way
to implementing a strategic plan to
increase membership for our state.
It is very exciting to see the enthusi-
asm developing and the potential that this could bring
us. We are meeting in January at the KDA ofce and
launching the new, enhanced program. More informa-
tion will be coming soon to each member and will be
emphasized at the local level. At the present time, we
have approximately 71.6% of the Kansas dentists as
members. At the end of 2011 our number was 72.2%.
We are fortunate to have held a steady percentage but
need to be proactive for the future.
If each of us would make it a goal to talk to one non-
member, non-renewal, or new dentist and inviting
them to join, we could make substantial ground in our
eforts to increase membership. Of course, there are
benefts for the new member and the KDA. It enhances
our dental care
and treatment
for the public
sector. Together
we have more resources to protect
both the delivery of dentistry and
the citizens of Kansas. Together we
are stronger in our philanthropy
for the less fortunate. Together we
are a stronger force for what is right
in our profession. So, set a goal to
meet someone new, rekindle an old
friendship, and ask a fellow dentist
to be part of a great organization.
Its their future, too.

PresIdenTs Message
KDA Dental Day highlights ongoing efforts
to expand Quality oral health Care
The Kansas Dental Association pre-
sented information, during a Dental
Day press conference at the Kansas
Statehouse on February 7, that Kan-
sans are seeing progress in the com-
prehensive eforts to reduce barriers
to quality dental care in the state.
Members of the KDA briefed law-
makers about ongoing eforts to
expand oral health services for
underserved Kansans. These eforts
include recruiting dentists to practice in rural areas,
expanding services provided by hygienists under direct
supervision of a dentist, and reach low-income Kansans
served by the states Medicaid program.
Several years ago, dentists launched a comprehensive
initiative to expand access to quality oral health care
to all Kansans, regardless of income or address, said
Kansas Dental Association President Craig Herre. We
developed our plan at a time when state resources were
scarce, so it relies heavily on private philanthropy and

By Dr. Becky M. Smith, Assistant Clinical Professor,
UMKC School of Dentistry
I am on a team of faculty creating the
curriculum for the Extended Care
Permit (ECP) III in the state of Kan-
sas. In my opinion, the ECP III is a
great opportunity for Kansas as they
are leading the way with the ex-
tended care permit license for their
hygienists. The licensing will include
additionally trained hygienists, un-
der general supervision, to perform
such procedures as: identify and
removing of decay with hand instru-
ments, placing temporary restora-
tions, adjusting dentures, placing
soft relines, checking for sore spots,
labeling dentures, smoothing sharp
teeth with a slow speed handpiece,
and extracting primary teeth that
are partially exfoliated with class 4
mobility. These procedures are to be
performed in youth shelters, foster
care homes, schools, as long as the
children are dentally underserved.
Other locations include longer-term
care units, adult care homes, state
institutions or community senior
services.
One of the duties of the ECP III hy-
new extended Care Permit (eCP) iii Dental
hygienists to use Proven Art technique
gienists is to perform decay removal with hand instru-
ments and place temporary fllings. This procedure is
known as Atraumatic Restorative Treatment or ART.
It began 25 years ago in Tanzania, as a concept to man-
age decay in areas that had litle to no access to dental
care. In the 1990s, decay was excavated and temporized
using glass ionomers (Frencken, Leal and Navarro 2012).
ART is an example of Minimally Invasive Dentistry
(MID). This concept is ultraconservative in the approach
for treatment of cavitated lesions. MID preserves as
much sound tooth structure as possible and with hand
instrumentation, more dental tissue can be preserved.
The main diference between ART and MID is that ART
uses hand instruments only (Frencken and Leal 2010).
In 2010, Frencken stated the ART approach have been
investigated extensively and outcomes have shown that
it can be considered an economical and efective method
for presenting and controlling carious lesion develop-
ment in vulnerable populations. A study by Carvaloho,
Sampiaio, Diniz, Bonecker and van Amerongen in 2010
concluded that there are similar survival rates in ART of
class II with and without isolation techniques.
Studies have shown success rates ranging from 43.4% to
96.7% for class I restorations and 12.2% to 83.3% in class
II restorations. Failures in Francas 2011 study included
lost or partially lost restorations or gross marginal de-
fects. The lost or partially lost fllings were 40% of all
failures in the frst year and 92% in the second year.
These studies were performed in China, Syria, Kuwait,
Turkey, Suriname and Kenya (Franca, Colares, and
Amergoren 2011). The United States has yet to publish
studies in the ART technique.
A systematic review, from Mickenautsch and Yengopal
in 2012, compared 18 trials of ART and conventional
amalgam restorations. The results were very positive in
using the ART technique. They concluded that the fail-

Expanding Oral Health Care Kansas dentists are participating in
the states recently launched Kan-
Care program to provide dental
services for low income and disabled
Kansans. More than 350 Kansas den-
tists are currently participating in
the new dental program, with more
dentists signing up each week. The
KDA also discussed progress being
made to expand the services that
dental hygienists perform in Kansas
under direct supervision of a dentist through the ECP III
advanced dental hygienist program. Last year the legis-
lature enacted a substantial dental care measure that cre-
ated a new level of extended practice for dental hygien-
ists who meet increased qualifcations. After additional
training, ECP III advanced dental hygienists would be
able to perform more dental services such as placing
temporary fllings. To maintain quality care, a dentist
would not be allowed to provide oversight to more than
fve ECP III advanced dental hygienists. The Kansas
Dental Board has recently approved a training program
for ECP III advanced dental hygienists at the UMKC
School of Dentistry, and training is set to begin this
spring. Kansas dentists and those who support eforts
to enhance quality oral health care in the state are proud
of the progress and accomplishments weve made, but
rest assured our eforts are not over, remarked Herre.
We know that challenges remain and we will keep pur-
suing all avenues of policy and programs that can best
serve our state.

ure rate of ART was similar to that of amalgam after periods longer than
one year (Mickenautsch and Yengopal 2021).
While the United States has yet to publish the outcomes of the ART tech-
nique, studies outside of the US have demonstrated positive results. It is
with best evidence practices that I believe that ART will be efective in the
access to care issues in the state of Kansas.

The 2013 Kansas Mission of Mercy
ofered both a chance to refect upon
the ten years of service volunteers
have provided and to look forward
to the future. Meanwhile, 1650 pa-
tients were treated during the two-
day clinic held at the Kansas Coli-
seum in Park City, KS.
Approximately 1100 volunteers, that
included 150 dentists, played a part
in this years event.
This is a testament to the dedicated
residents of Park City, Wichita and
the state of Kansas, said Angie
Holladay, one of the three co-chairs
of the 2013 event. This project is a
huge task and having the support of
over seventy-fve local donors and
businesses made it happen.
Volunteers worked around the clock
beginning at 8 am on Thursday
for setup until the last patient was
treated at 6 pm on Saturday. An
overnight shift organized patients
who arrived early for dental care on
KMoM 2013 touches hearts while Making a Difference
both Thursday and Friday nights.
Many of the volunteers spent
fourteen hours each day to ensure
the patients had a positive, caring
experience from the time they were
served breakfast at 4 am, Holladay
said. We have always been proud to
be Kansans, but never more than we
were watching this KMOM.
The frst patient arrived for dental
care at 10:30 am on Thursday. Tera
Hardie and Cathy Pickens, sisters
from Russell, KS, were the frst
patients to enter the KMOM clinic
on Thursday night when doors for
overnight waiting opened at 9:30
pm. Being patient number one was
their goal, just as they had been in
2006 when the clinic last came to the
Wichita area. In 2006, Hardie re-
ceived extensive care at the KMOM
clinic and her sister, who did receive
some treatment, took care of her and
drove her home. This time it was
Pickens who was planning to receive
dental care and her sister was there
for support.
We cant aford health and dental
insurance and we have three kids
who still live at home, Pickens said.
I think it is really awesome and a
great opportunity for people who
cant aford it.
Throughout the day on Thursday,
volunteers helped put the dental
clinic in place, seting up chairs,
dental units and tables as well as organizing steriliza-
tion and central supply. In the evening on Thursday,
the project held a celebration to recognize the ten-year
anniversary of the KMOM clinic that opened its doors to
the very frst patient on February 28, 2003.
You are a bright spot in the world right now, said Park
City Mayor Emil Bergquist as he welcomed the volun-
teers to his city on Thursday night. You are a blessing
to people over the next two days. Bergquist spoke to
nearly two hundred volunteers in atendance at the
celebration in a suit and tie, but on Friday and Saturday,
both he and his wife Ralene served as general volunteers
for the clinic.
The celebration included a video that looked back on
the ten-year history of the project along with interviews
with both Drs. Jon Tilton and Jef Stasch, who brought
the KMOM idea to Kansas.
All of us make this possible, Stasch said as he spoke to the
volunteers. Your life is richer because of the experience.
After the clinic on Friday, the location for the 2014
project was unveiled as Dodge City. That event will take
place on February 28-March 1st at the Western State

FroM The oFFICe
The Kansas Dental Association (KDA) con-
tinues to pursue programs and activities that
promote access to dental care to all Kansans.
To that end, we are teaming up with Oral
Health Kansas, the Kansas Hospital Association, the states two
nursing home associations and others to pursue a major grant
that would be used to increase access to dental care in nursing
homes, hospitals and rural areas. In addition, the KDA is work-
ing to place dentists in underserved areas of the state through our
KIND Scholarship/Loan Forgiveness Program (see related article)
and by working with the KanCare dental organizations to beter
the program and to steadily increase the number of dentists who
are enrolled providers.
Meanwhile, the April 5 First Adjournment of the Kansas Legis-
lature is looming as Legislators continue a fast-paced 2013 Legis-
lative Session with new leadership in the House and Senate de-
termined to complete its work within 80 daysas opposed to the
allowable 90 days. Major initiatives are being proposed by the
Brownback Administration like revamping much of the tax code
and ongoing oversight of the new KanCare Medicaid program.
At this point, both the Administration and the Legislature seem
uninterested in any eforts to expand Medicaid under provisions
of the Afordable Care Act.
There are a few bills that have been introduced that are especially
of interest to the KDA. Both the House and Senate have intro-
duced the identical registered dental practitioner mid-level bill.
HB 2157 is assigned to the House Commitee on Health and Hu-
man Services while SB 197 is assigned to the Senate Commitee on
Public Health and Welfare. Though no hearings have been sched-
uled at the writing of this column, both bills are exempt from
Legislative deadlines and, therefore, could still be scheduled for
a hearing and action. In addition to the so called mid-level bills,
a bill has been introduced in the House (HB 2372) that would
require communities that fuoridate to include a notice in their
water bill to consumers that adequately makes the consumers of
the fuoridated water aware of the fact that ingested fuoride low-
ers the I.Q. in children. This bill was initiated by Mark Gieten
and the Kansas Republican Assembly who gained momentum
on their anti-fuoride message after the sound rejection of com-
munity fuoridation by Wichitans in November. HB 2372 is also
exempt from legislative deadline and no hearing or other action
has occurred this session.
The KDA is still very opposed to the registered dental practitio-
ner mid-level bills, as they are virtually the same bills that were
introduced initially in 2011 with some minor tweaking on the
percent of Medicaid a dentist would need to treat to qualify to
employ them. The bills contain no geographic restriction (under-
served, rural, etc.) areas where RDPs would be limited to prac-
tice and there are no limits on the number of RDPs one dentist
could supervise ofsite under (less than) general supervision. The
procedures allowed after a training program of not more than
18 months still include surgical non-reversible procedures like:
extractions of primary teeth; extractions of periodontally diseased
permanent teeth with tooth mobility of +3 or +4 except that the
RDP shall not extract a tooth for any patient if the tooth is un-
erupted, impacted, fractured, or needs to be sectioned for remov-
al; cavity preparation restoration of primary and permanent teeth;
preparation and placement of preformed crowns; pulpotomies on
primary teeth; indirect and direct pulp capping on primary and
permanent teeth; and the diagnosis of oral disease; the formula-
tion of an individualized treatment plan
The supporters of the RDP bills, particularly the Kansas Action
for Children (KAC) and the Kansas Association of Medically
Underserved (KAMU) have continued with their media assault
on the KDA and dentists in general throughout the session. Most
recently, editorials by KAMU Executive Director Cathy Hard-
ing appeared in the Wichita Eagle and other newspapers while
at the same time a press release critical of dentist participation in
the KanCare Medicaid program was also distributed. And so it
goes

Dodge City has been selected as the site for the 2014 Kansas Mis-
sion of Mercy (KMOM) dental clinic. The project will take place
February 28 March 1 at the Dodge City Western State Bank
Expo Center.
The Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation announced on Friday
that Dodge City, Kansas will host the annual event. The project
has been in operation since 2003 and has provided more than
23,000 patients with free dental care.
Dodge City was announced during the 2013 Kansas Mission of
Mercy held this past weekend at the Kansas Coliseum in Park
City.
We are very excited that the next project is coming to Dodge
City, said Dr. Richard McFadden, a
Dodge City-based dentist who will
chair the 2014 event. This event will
help provide many of our citizens re-
ceive dental care they cannot aford.
It is expected that nearly 150 dentists
will volunteer their time and energy
to the Dodge City clinic. In addition,
nearly 150 dental hygienists and 175
dental assistants, and hundreds of
local volunteers will be needed to
facilitate KMOM Dodge City.

Insurers must ofer pediatric dental coverage as
an essential health beneft beginning in 2014, but
consumers shopping through the new insurance
exchanges wont necessarily have to buy it.
The fnal rule on standards related to essential
health benefts mandates the ofer of benefts
defned by the Afordable Care Act as essential,
including dental coverage, but does not require the
purchase of the pediatric dental essential health
beneft if the purchase is made through an ex-
change.
This rule outlines standards to be applied both
to the exchanges and insurance companies, said
an Association analysis of the regulations. It also
fnalizes a timeline for qualifed health plans to be
accredited in federally facilitated exchanges (FFEs).
Finally, the rule amends regulations providing a
process for the recognition of additional accredit-
ing entities. These standards apply only to the
individual and small group markets, both inside
and outside the exchange.
ACA DentAl CoverAge: Must oFFer, MAy PurChAse
Issuers of qualifed health plans
are permited to exclude the
pediatric dental essential health
beneft if a stand-alone dental
plan is ofered in the exchange,
and nothing in the rule requires
purchase of the full set of ben-
efts. Consumers may purchase
a medical plan that does not
cover the pediatric EHB with-
out buying a stand-alone dental
plan;
On the other hand, outside the
exchange the rule requires the
ofer of all 10 beneft categories
and purchase of the pediatric
dental EHB by everyone in the
individual and small group
markets. Qualifed health plans
may ofer a product that ex-
cludes the pediatric dental EHB
if they are reasonably assured
that such coverage is sold
only to consumers who
purchase pediatric den-
tal coverage through an
exchange-certifed stand-
alone dental plan.

You are a bright spot in the world
right now, was the greeting Park
City Mayor Emil Bergquist ofered to
the volunteers assembled at the Kan-
sas Coliseum on Thursday evening
for the 2013 Kansas Mission of Mercy.
Mayor Bergquist helped welcome
volunteers to the Wichita area to help
provide free dental care. He told the
volunteers they will give people their
frst bright smiles. You will be a
blessing to people over the next two
days, he said.
On Thursday evening, February 28,
volunteers gathered to prepare for
the 2013 Kansas Mission of Mercy
(KMOM) and celebrate the events
10th anniversary. The frst KMOM
event was held on February 28,
2003, in Garden City and was the
brainchild of Drs. Jon Tilton and Jef
Stasch. Tilton and Stasch had heard
about the MOM concept in Virginia
in 2002 and volunteered to take part
in it. They knew the free dental clinic
would help meet some of the press-
ing needs of underserved Kansans
and wanted to learn how it worked.
Over the last ten years, Kansas has
staged twelve Missions of Mercy and
provided over $11 million in free
dental care for thousands of Kansans.
Tilton explained that MOM events
were never meant to be the solution,
but they are a way to provide dental
care for adults who desperately need
Come and spend a day in the dental/dental hygiene eld. Dental Day is a
great opportunity for students to gain handson experience in the eld of
dentistry and dental hygiene. We have many exciting events planned for the

elds of dentistry. This camp is geared towards High School Juniors and
Seniors interested in pursuing an education in the eld of dentistry. Lunch
will be included for participants of the day.

Wichita State University, College of Health Professions, School of
Oral Health, is pleased to announce that we will host a DENTAL
DAY for high school juniors and seniors, this summer. This day-
camp will be held in the WSU Dental Simulation Laboratory, the
only dental sim lab in Kansas!
The School of Oral Health consists of the Department of Dental
Hygiene, the Advanced Education in General Dentistry program,
and both of our patient-serving dental clinics. The Delta Dental of
Kansas Foundation Dental Hygiene Clinic ofers preventive oral
health services, while the WSU Dental Clinic in our new state-of-
the-art building ofers comprehensive dental services. Both clinics
are open to the public, and now accepting new patients.
If you know any high school students who are interested in the
dental profession, WSU Dental Day would be a great opportu-
nity for them. Please pass this information onto them.
Wsu AegD ProgrAM to holD high sChool CAMP
i Cant Wait for the next one
it. He pointed out that there are no
Medicaid dental services for Kansas
adults, which means KMOM is often
the only solution available. They
(adult patients at KMOM) are very
appreciative. These are folks who
would not get care anywhere else.
KMOM makes a diference in terms
of relieving their pain and giving
them self esteem.
All of us make this possible, Stasch
told the assembled crowd. Your life
is richer because of the experience.
Dr. Bob Beaver echoed his senti-
ments saying, If you have to ask
anyone why we do this, it cant be
explained on Channel 10.
Dr. Glenn Hemberger reminisced
about how much the volunteers have
learned over the last 10 years about
providing a high quality experience
for the 1,000 volunteers and 2,000
patients who participate in KMOM
each year. He explained that KMOM
organizers have learned the impor-
tance of details like providing break-
fast for the patients who waited in
line for hours or even days. One pa-
tient was so grateful for the services
he received that he reached into his
wallet as he left and gave his last $20
to help with the project.
KMOM not only has helped provide
dental care for thousands of Kan-
sans, it also has lead to the creation
of the Americas Dentists Care
Foundation (ADCF) which is responsible for helping
to coordinate MOM events in 26 states. ADCF Execu-
tive Director Bruce Bergstrom accompanied his wife, a
dental hygienist, to volunteer for the frst KMOM event
in Garden City ten years ago. He helped with crowd
control and met a young boy who did not have shoes,
but wore fve pairs of socks instead. When Bergstrom
learned that fve pairs of socks is the exchange rate for
a pair of shoes, he was determined to dedicate his life
to helping Kansans in poverty. He helped found ADCF,
headquartered in Wichita, which now helps states set up
their own MOM events. Through ADCF, 110,000 Ameri-
cans have received over $55 million in free dental care.
Lets not forget how far weve come, Kansas Dental
Association Executive Director Kevin Robertson told the
2013 KMOM volunteers. He described how the humble
beginnings in Garden City ten years ago have led to the
outstanding event KMOM has become, serving over
21,000 Kansans. Each year volunteers echo Robertsons
sentiments, saying, I cant wait for next year.
The 2013 Kansas Mission of Mercy will take place on
Friday, March 1 and Saturday March 2 at the Kansas
Coliseum, just north of Wichita. The location for the 2014
KMOM event will be announced to volunteers on Friday
evening.

University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry who intends to
practice dentistry in Doniphan County.
The KIND Program was initially directed at creating an incentive for new
dental school graduates to locate in in one of the four dental deserts that the
KDHE Bureau of Oral Health identifed in its Mapping the Rural Kansas
Workforce report.
In pursuit of this goal, The KDA and Delta Foundation met with city of-
fcials within the dental deserts and with dental students at four dental
schools in general proximity to Kansas. Throughout our visits with students
it was evident that creating an incentive for new graduate dentists to set
up a dental practice in an area of Kansas where no practice currently exists
would be difcult.
As a result, the KIND Advisory Commitee has expanded the Program to
include three additional approaches believed to have the best chances for
success.
1. Expand the eligible communities where a KIND recipient could prac-
tice to all counties with population of less than 50,000. The KIND Advi-
sory Commitee will award scholarships/loan forgiveness grants based
on the need of the community.
2. Educate existing dentists as to the 50% rule carve out regarding
satellite practices in counties with population of less than 10,000 and
encourage these dentists to invest in these areas. In these cases, the
KIND Advisory Commitee would work with community leaders on
incentives to atract the satellite dental practice to locate in the area and
then use the KIND Loan Forgiveness funds to help recruit an associate
dentist to the satellite practice(s).
3. Expand the current loan forgiveness grant into a scholarship opportu-
nity for students while in dental school. Dental students would receive
up to $25,000/year of dental school ($100,000 total) for agreeing to prac-
tice in an underserved area determined by the Advisory Commitee
working with the student. The sooner the student commits to the schol-
arship in dental school the more money they will be eligible to receive:
1st year $100,000 total, 2nd year $75,000, 3rd and 4th year $50,000
total). Awards of $75,000 require a four-year service commitment while
$100,000 awards require fve years.
The three student recipients of the KIND Scholarship (Taylor Allen-
Merklein, Brittany Owens and Nathan Schmidt) sign their letters of
intent during the luncheon at KDAs Dental Day.

Bank Expo Center. We are very excited that the next
project is coming to Dodge City, said Richard McFad-
den of Dodge City who will chair next years event.
McFadden was on hand for the entire project, taking
notes and meeting individually with key department
organizers.
The project wrapped up on Saturday with a special
recognition to Bruce Bergstrom who has served the
past fve years as the Executive Director of the Amer-
icas Dentists Care Foundation. Bergstrom is set to re-
tire later this year. A quilt, made by Dr. Julie Swift and
her mother, from t-shirts of past KMOM projects was
auctioned. The fundraiser raised $2500 for the Kansas
Dental Charitable Foundation.
It isnt nearly enough to say, but we thank you and
we will never forget what you have done for adults
and children in need, Holladay said. We cant wait
for the next one and we hope to see many of you in
Dodge City in 2014.

Greg Hill, JD
KDCF Executive Director
When I was a senior in high school
in 1990, the Sports Editor of our
local newspaper, the Independence
Daily Reporter, asked one of the
high school English teachers if he
had a student he might recommend
as a part-time stringer in the
sports department.
The teacher, Mr. David Torbet,
who had been my junior English
teacher, gave him my name and
soon after, I became a newspaper
sports writer. The two-year stint
gave me a chance to get paid a mini-
mum wage (or close to it) to watch
high school and junior college foot-
ball and basketball games and to
write about them. This also meant
that my Saturday nights were of-
ten spent under the gun covering
both a womens basketball game, a
mens game, interviewing coaches
and players, writing two stories that
had to fll the space, and then fling
those stories by about 11:00 PM, de-
pending on the length of the game,
less than an hour after the second
game fnished. I was soon asked to
be the editor of the college paper,
The Independence Community Col-
lege Buccaneer and I accepted that
opportunity.
But for some reason, and I would be
more than embarrassed to try and
explain the reasoning now, I decid-
ed I had no interest whatsoever in
being a journalist, even though, in
the back of my head, I knew it was
something I really, truly enjoyed.
Each year, during the Kansas Mis-
sion of Mercy and the weeks lead-
ing up to it, and for a time after,
I get the chance to combine story
telling and technology to share the
work our volunteers do to help
others. Truthfully, there are few
things Id rather do. Whether its
recounting the ten years of KMOM,
announcing the location of the next
project, or telling one of the televi-
sion stations of the awesome work
you are doing to make a diference,
I get the chance to do something
that I enjoy and I hope is benefcial,
both as a news source for those par-
ticipating, but to those who arent
and still follow the work we do.
That short time working for a newspaper, of course,
taught me the importance of deadlines. But I also
learned the importance that reporting has in creating
awareness and opportunities. Through our website,
social media and other communication channels, the
KDCF can help create that awareness in ways that
probably no one else can. More than 20,000 people
saw the content we put on Facebook, twenty-times the
number of volunteers who participated. This content
included videos we produced highlighting the 10-Year
Anniversary, photographs from all angles of the project
and the announcement of the Dodge City event.
I think creating this awareness is important. Those
who help fund our project appreciate knowing they are
receiving proper recognition for the support they pro-
vide. Organizations around the country, not remotely
afliated with KMOM or the national MOM programs,
learned of the work we did, shared our information
and new connections were created because of it. Vol-
unteers were able to see aspects of the project they
otherwise may have missed.
So I guess when I say that I cant wait for the next one,
you know I really mean it. KMOM is something I look
forward to every year, not just because of the charity
work we provide, but because it provides me an oppor-
tunity to do what I love. I hope this love and passion
I have for the KMOM project is apparent in the things
you read and see.

Sponsor Extended Care Permit (ECP) I, II or III Advanced Dental Hygienists
ECP I and II dental hygienists have been working in Kansas since 2002. An ECP works outside
the dental ofce under the supervision of a sponsoring dentist. ECP I and II dental hygienists
perform dental hygiene preventative services in head starts, schools, nursing homes, commu-
nity health prisons centers, etc. The new ECP III law passed in 2012 allows the ECP III advanced
dental hygienists to do additional palliative treatments such as adjusting dentures, smoothing a
rough tooth, and removal of decay and placement of IRT materials using hand instrumentation.
In order for these programs to be successful to addressing the need for care in these areas, den-
tists are needed to take on the responsibility of sponsoring ECP I, II and III dental hygienists.
Satellite Into a Rural Area of Need
Did you know you can own a satellite dental ofce in a county of less than 10,000 population,
within 125 miles of your primary ofce and not have to be present a majority of time? Kansans
in some rural areas of our state could beneft from a dentist in their community. This could be
an excellent way to expand your practice while also providing dental care to an area that is in
need of a dentist. The Kansas Initiative for New Dentists (KIND) can help you fnd a dentist for
the satellite practice. Contact the KDA ofce for more information.
Be a KanCare Medicaid Provider
KanCare serves about 300,000 Kansans. Children receive a full

Participate In a Charitable Activity or Event
The KDAs Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation (KDCF) has
hosted the Kansas Mission of Mercy (KMOM) since 2003. Over
20,000 Kansans have been provided $11 million in free dental
care. Watch the KDA website for information to volunteer at the
next event or visit the Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation web-
site for more details.
Donated Dental Services (DDS)
DDS provides comprehensive dentistry to the most vulnerable
Kansans who are elderly, disabled or medically at-risk and have
no other way to get help. DDS dentists approve the cases they
treat. Become a DDS volunteer dentist today by contacting the
Dental Lifeline Network of Kansas at 785.273.1900.
In Office Program
Last year, the KDA shepherded legislation that exempts dentists
from liability who participate in an organized in-ofce charitable
program. These could be programs like Give Kids a Smile, pro-
grams organized by your dental district, local health department
or your own Ofce MOM project that some dentists around the
state coordinate.
Community Health Clinic
Community Health Centers, Local Health Departments, Feder-
ally Qualifed Health Centers and similar community clinics often
have opportunities for dentists who are looking for opportunities
to provide gratis care. Check with your local social service depart-
ments for possible opportunities.
Adopt a Nursing Home
Residents of nursing homes often sufer from poor or neglected
oral health. Ongoing dentist involvement and intervention is
critical to maintain these patients oral health. Service to nursing
homes can be enhanced by sponsoring an ECP II or III dental
hygienist who can then provide preventative and/or palliative
care for patients. There are payment opportunities through PETI.
Contact a local nursing home and start helping today.
