SMILE- The staff and dentists of Sea Breeze Dental Care recently donated their expertise to the children of Casa Pacifica, a Ventura County facility for children who have been abused and neglected or are emotionally disturbed. During a morning of examinations last month, X-rays were taken and cleanings and exams were provided for the children, who also received homecare kits including a toothbrush, toothpaste and toys. Those who need additional dental work will be treated at an office in Simi Valley, according to Dr. Ilya Zak.
