1 HOUSE RESOLUTION
2 WHEREAS, Give Kids A Smile is a national campaign,
3 sponsored by the American Dental Association, to deliver free
4 oral health education, screening, and treatment services to
5 children who would not otherwise receive dental care; and
6 WHEREAS, On Give Kids A Smile Day, Friday, February 21,
7 2003, hundreds of thousands of children at more than 4,000
8 sites across the country will receive free education,
9 screening, and treatment services; and
10 WHEREAS, Dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants,
11 lay volunteers, dental societies, and dental school students
12 and faculties will be working together on that day to help
13 children from low-income families who otherwise would not
14 receive dental care; and
15 WHEREAS, While helping children is incredibly important
16 to Give Kids A Smile Day, it is equally important to note the
17 extent of untreated dental disease among too many of the
18 nation's children and foster meaningful progress toward
19 long-term solutions to dental access problems; therefore, be
20 it
21 RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
22 NINETY-THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
23 we recognize the importance of dental treatment to low-income
24 children and support the efforts of the American Dental
25 Association's Give Kids A Smile Campaign; and be it further
26 RESOLVED, That we name Friday, February 21, 2003 as Give
27 Kids A Smile Day in the State of Illinois; and be it further
28 RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be
29 presented to the American Dental Association with our best
30 wishes for the success of the Give Kids A Smile Day in 2003.
