To KICK OFF  “National Children’s Dental Health Month,” which is held annually every February, Traverse Health Clinic (located in Traverse City, MI) is sponsoring a “Matinee Dental Day.”  This event will be held at The Garden Theater in downtown Frankfort, MI on Saturday, February 6, 2010, at 2:00 pm.  The feature film for families will be “Happy Feet” and this movie will be FREE!

This event is generously underwritten by Charles Kehr, DDS, of Beulah, MI. 

The Traverse Health Clinic staff will perform a short, fun dental skit and show a Goofy cartoon right before the start of the movie to help educate families and children on why brushing and flossing is important.   The Garden Theater has offered to host this even for the community.  The doors will be open to the public at 1pm to offer families the chance to obtain Community Resource information for families who need information on where and how to obtain dental care for their family.  Traverse Health Clinic will have staff available to answer questions.

Traverse Health Clinic is providing everyone with Tooth Care Kits (toothbrush, paste, floss) and these will be given out after the matinee.

This Family Theater Project is supported by a grant from Traverse City Rotary Club’s Good Works Fund

Information on this event can be found on The Garden Theater’s website, www.frankfortgardentheater.com, and also Traverse Health Clinic’s website, www.traversehealthclinic.org.

Please join us for a VERY FUN and FREE!!! Family Day at The Garden Theater!
