A DAY of free dental care for needy local families only drew 10 people and organizers have termed the day disapointing, but vow to try again next year. ““We were very disappointed,’ said Jan Bayley, public relations spokesman for dentists George Sakata and David Radatzke, who hosted the event Sunday. “T can’t believe it,’’ Bayley said of the day’s 10-person draw. “‘People complain about how ex- pensive dentistry is.”’ The assistance of Bruce Ward, another North Vancouver dentist, swelled the number of dentists per- forming the free pre-Christmas service to three. Letters announcing the CArE service — Christmas Arrives Early -—~ were sent to six North Shore social service organizations for distribution to the clients. “Apparently they put the letters in all the bags of food they distributed,’’ said Bayley. ‘‘We had 10 people show up and did $1,500 of work for free." The trio treated only those who did not qualify for any dental plan, and did just about everything from cleanings to fillings to root canals, she said. In the United States, a similar program was so successful that people had to be turned away. “They had 200 people lined up and were only able to do 89." A similar plan is set for next Christmas, but with a change, Bayley said. ‘We will contact these families personally and book them," she explained. As the College of Dental Surgeons prohibits dentists from advertising, telling the public of this free service must be done through some alternate means. “We're nat going to give up.” vowed Bayley 15 - Wednesday, December 10, 1986 - North Shore News AUBREY BASTEDO catches up on the lafest boating news during his free check-up, clean- ing and filling from dentist George Sakata and assistant Jo-Ann Theaker.
