    AZ MOM North Dental Day at Northern Arizona University Offers Free Dental Care June 7 and 8

    logo_azmomSedona AZ (June 7, 2019) – The Central Arizona Dental Society will host its inaugural AZ MOM North event on June 7 and 8 to help locals in need. More than 125 volunteer dentists, hygienists, lab technicians and assistants will provide free care to approximately 1,000 people over two days.

    The dental professionals – the majority of which are from northern Arizona – will utilize 50 state-of the-art dental chairs at the Rolle Activity Center on the NAU Campus to focus on relieving pain and infection. Dental services such as fillings, extractions, cleanings, as well as limited lab work including dentures – but no flippers – will be provided to approximately 1,000 people of all ages. Patients will receive services from 6:00 a.m. until 5 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis both days.

    “We are very excited that the CADS Foundation has brought the dental Mission of Mercy Program to Flagstaff,” said Dr. Dale Hallberg, Co-Clinic Floor Lead and Flagstaff dentist. “We expect the 2019 AZMOM North event to help hundreds of people in our community with their immediate oral health needs.”

    Arizona discontinued adult dental AHCCCS benefits in 2010 during the budget cuts of the great recession. While some benefits were restored in Fall 2018, the demand for care during this event proves how much the most vulnerable members of our community are still in need.

    “There are too many people that fall through the cracks that are struggling with day to day life and need help,” shared Dr. Brent Dameron, an Arizona dentist and CADS Foundation Board President “Having dental health gives these people a chance to focus on things other than pain or infection, helps them to better access potential jobs, plus it unburdens our emergency health care system that individuals use to relieve pain and infection if they can’t access dental care.”

    Dameron added, “We also work to provide dental education to these patients in need so they understand a small ongoing investment will help to alleviate these larger, painful issues. Preventative dental care is about the cost of a cup of coffee each day.”

    AZ MOM, or AZ Mission of Mercy Dental events occur throughout the year, but there are still individuals facing homelessness that have been unable to attend for a variety of reasons. CADSF and partners are creating additional focused events to meet these ongoing needs. This will be the first event held in the city of Flagstaff. The facility on the NAU campus provides an enormous space for more dental chairs and more dental professionals to give care to more people than in previous events.

    CADSF relies on significant sponsorships from a variety of organizations for this event in Flagstaff including Del E. Webb Foundation, Delta Dental of Arizona, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Mercy Care and numerous other corporate sponsors and individual donors to put on the AZMOM event each year. Support this event: Text AZMOM to 71777 to donate

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
