Vote for Wichita State University, so the Delta Dental of Kansas Foundation Dental Hygiene Clinic at WSU can win $2,500 to purchase several ultrasonic scalers for use with patients in the clinic. Ultrasonic scalers are small hand-held machines used to fracture heavy deposits of buildup on teeth before cleaning and are especially beneficial when providing care to patients who do not receive regular cleanings. After the second week of the contest, WSU was in first place, but the contest has three more weeks so your vote is important. Go to http://bit.ly/ShockersDeltaDental and vote for WSU through April 29. You can vote as many times as you want over the course of the contest.
The clinic is participating in the Delta Dental of Kansas Champions Project, in which 10 Kansas organizations are vying for one of four mini-grants. Teams of employees at Delta Dental of Kansas have adopted projects to promote. Last Thursday, WuShock visited Delta Dental's Waterfront office in Wichita to promote the contest and hand out WSU cookies.
