JJ's Story

Early Intervention and Preventive care provided by KinderSmile made a significant impact in a toddler’s life. Little JJ was 2 years old suffering from extensive case of Early Childhood Caries of most of his upper teeth and the lower molars. This child, being caught in the custody battle between the parents, had total dental neglect and learning disabilities. JJ suffered through unnecessary trauma and delayed treatment while his disabled grandmother was trying to negotiate NJ State Medicaid Managed Care.

KSF intervened, and a referral was made to Pediatric Dentist for total oral care. Treatment included multiple extractions, pulpotomies (Root Canal Teatment) and Stainless Steel crowns and Partial Upper Denture/ Fixed Retainer to replace the upper anterior teeth lost to extensive dental caries. JJ is five years old now, very well adjusted and on an age-appropriate learning curve. Child's self esteem was restored when he was able to smile, remain pain-free and chew his food.

KSF was very supportive of JJ's Father and Grandmother in assisting with all his dental appointments.

KSF is a proud affiliate of The National Children's Oral Health Foundation, Inc. and Montclair Health & Wellness Program
