Meredith Girl Scouts from Troop 10437 presented a variety of "tooth fairy" pillows and pouches to the staff of Children's Dentistry of the Lakes Region. These Ambassador level scouts hand crafted these items as part of a journey program they worked on. Each one has included a little saying the girls came up with.

Local dentist honored for care to underserved children
Gilford- Dr. Melissa Kennell of Gilford, was one of seven individuals in the U.S. chosen to become a grant recipient and ambassador for the national Give Kids A Smile Day (GKAS). Kennell was invited to attend Give Kids A Smile University in St. Louis, MO where she received hands-on training and learned the inner workings of a successful GKAS program.
To be chosen, candidates had to demonstrate commitment and the ability to provide dental homes and continuity of care to underserved children through their own GKAS program.
Kennell, a general dentist, recently opened her own practice in Gilford, called Children’s Dentistry of the Lakes Region where she focuses on creating a comfortable and warm atmosphere that helps children enjoy visits to the dentist’s office.
