See the Special Smiles Doolin Haddad Advanced Dentistry delivered to athletes at the Michigan Special Olympics Summer Games

A team of volunteers from Doolin Haddad Advanced Dentistry, the Rochester, Mich., dental practice, which focuses on cosmetic, implant and restorative dentistry, recently returned from the Michigan Special Olympics Summer Games where they offered free dental exams and oral hygiene tips to competitors as part of the Special Smiles program, a division of the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes® program that focuses oral health.

Inspired by his 7-year-old niece, Katelyn Acciavatti, who has Down Syndrome, Dr. Haddad first became involved in the Special Smiles program in 2016 when he and his DH colleagues volunteered at the Summer Games.

“The Summer Games are much more than a competition; it’s a time to renew or make new friendships,” Dr. Haddad said. “Our dental team is truly moved by the Special Olympians who work so hard to compete, and we’re happy to support them and the countless others who dedicate their time and enthusiasm to serving the needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities.”

The Summer Games took place June 1–3 at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Mich.

Doolin Haddad Advanced Dentistry was founded in Rochester in 1990 by Dr. Kurt Doolin. Dr. Jeff Haddad joined the practice in 2002. In addition to their dental school training, both Drs. Doolin and Haddad are fellows of The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies and lecture nationally on implants, TMJ, and restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Marco Tironi, D.D.S. joined Rochester Advanced Dentistry in 2013; the practice has 13 team members. Discover Health. Discover Happiness. Discover How. DiscoverDH.
