We are extremely excited to share the following news!
Our very own dental hygienist and outreach coordinator, Heidi Rocha, is now an author of a new children's book named Toothbrushing with Maggie & Mommy.
Heidi was once a young patient at Smiles! Her experiences inspired her to pursue a career in dental hygiene and upon graduation, she returned to her home at Smiles and worked as a beloved hygienist for over 28 years!
For years, children enjoyed having "Miss Heidi" clean their teeth.
After retirement from dental hygiene, Heidi became our dental outreach coordinator. She travels to schools to teach the importance of practicing good oral hygiene to the community's children where they often recognize her and delight in her warm and loving personality.
She is the "face of Smiles" at all of our events, such the ice cream socials that we hold multiple times in the summer.
(For anyone interested, Heidi's book can be purchased on Amazon. Smiles for the Future does not receive any proceeds from these sales; we are just so proud of her that we wanted to share her accomplishment with everyone.)
