An event at Arrowhead Stadium Tuesday connected kids who don't have access to regular dental care with dentists."Missouri is facing a dental drought," said UMKC dental student Alexandria Thomas.For Thomas, a chance to provide free dental care to kids who may not have access to it was something she couldn't pass up."It's really important that we come out here and volunteer as dentist and student doctors," Thomas said.She was one of 200 dental care volunteers showing up at Arrowhead as part of the Chiefs and the TeamSmile Program."Oral health is linked to diabetes. It's linked to heart and health care. It's linked to your overall health," said John McCarthy, executive director of TeamSmile.The TeamSmile Program began in Kansas City in 2007. Now, it does events in all 50 states, teaming up kids who don't have access to regular dental care with dentists in their area."It's crucial that these children take care of their teeth now while they're young," McCarthy said.From X-rays to cleanings to screenings to filling cavities, pretty much everything was offered and it was free."One of the biggest barriers in access to care is the lack of access of care that we have in the dental community," said Keely Stofer, a UMKC dental student.More than 400 Kansas City area kids received free dental care on Tuesday. Some received dental care for the very first time."Some kids are nervous but the best thing you can do is just act enthusiastic," Stofer said."Healthy habits start at a young age," Thomas said.
