Community Initiatives
At Sunnyside Pediatric Dentistry we are dedicated to ensuring all children have access to oral health care and education. We participate in a number of ongoing activities designed to give back.
Educating the Marin Community
Dr. Sophie and her team are passionate about educating our local community. We gladly work with schools, community centers, summer camps, and parents to deliver group programming that aims to develop and maintain optimal oral wellness in our community. During these sessions, Dr. Sophie gives a fun interactive age appropriate oral wellness presentation free of charge. Want to get outside of the classroom? Schedule a field trip and come to us! Dr. Sophie loves showing small groups of kids around our office and talking about oral health and what it's like to be a pediatric dentist. |
Candy Buy-Back Program
Every year, in the days following Halloween, our office participates in the National Candy-Buy-Back Program. As part of this initiative, we pay kids $1 per 1 pound of candy brought to our office then donate it to Operation Gratitude where it is packed in boxes and shipped to our troops abroad. And guess what? You don't have to be our patient to participate! So bring your kids' friends and their friends' friends! All are welcome. |
Supporting Community Based Organizations
To help kids around the world gain access to the tools they need for good oral health and wellness, Sunnyside donates a portion of our profits to a specially selected community based organization that provides services to children low-income communities. By establishing your dental home with us and referring your friends, you are helping kids around the world achieve healthier smiles. |
