Dr. Adam Poyfair – Making a Difference
Posted by | Comments
Dr. Adam Poyfair, a new dentist in our community, has volunteered for the Medical Teams International Dental Van. This beautiful new van is a mobile dental unit that goes directly to the schools and other sites to meet the needs of many of our students with moderate to severe dental needs. This effort is in partnership with Caring for Kids. The van services the kids at Tyee Park, Southgate and Dower, and will do a special day at Clover Park High School. The biggest problem we face is a volunteer dentist for the one day commitments. So we want to thank Dr. Adam Poyfair for making a difference in our community! Call and thank Dr. Poyfair, Light Dental Studio, 471-2222. If you are a dentist or you know a dentist who would volunteer for a day please call Diane Formoso at 253-279-9777.
