Helping people to a painfree Christmas, one tooth at a time

WENATCHEE — A Christmas without pain will be something new for Darren Sicklovan. The 35-year-old Wenatchee resident has endured severe toothaches since he was a child. He hasn’t been to a dentist since then because he’s never been able to afford the dental work he was brought up to consider a luxury.

Sickloven was one of more than 200 people who lined up at two Wenatchee dentists’ offices for free dental help Friday. Many others had to be turned away for the second year of Serve Wenatchee Valley’s Painfree Christmas Dental Day. Local dentists, dental technicians and hygienists volunteered their time to pull problem teeth and drill and fill cavities that are causing pain.

A massive free clinic takes the pulse of health care in America

And so a year that began hopefully ends bitterly.

The heartless cold freezing the city on December 9 and 10 turns out to be a metaphor for the year’s biggest argument and those left out of it. In Washington, D.C., on these same two days, a hundred cowardly senators are “debating” how little they can do to solve the problem of 47 million Americans who don’t have health insurance — who don’t have access to the kind of preventive medicine that keeps them from getting sick in the first place, who can’t just go to the doctor when they get the flu or a sinus infection, who don’t have any way to pay for a trip to the emergency room if they need stitches or break an arm or crack their head open in a life-altering accident.
