On September 27, 2022 Dr. Busch’s non-profit organization, TeamSmile, held their annual program with the Kansas City Chiefs. This is the sixteenth year TeamSmile has partnered with the Kansas City underserved youth – giving them access to no cost life changing dental care and education.
This year over 500 children from local Kansas City schools came to Arrowhead to take part of this wonderful opportunity. Dr. Busch is grateful to the volunteers who help make this a reality for the community. And a big thank you to the KC Chiefs players who came to cheer on the children – it is his hope that children will not fear going to the dentist any longer.
Dr. Busch is proud to see TeamSmile grow nationwide; just before the pandemic the organization partnered with over 32 professional sports teams serving their respective cities. Please visit www.teamsmile.org to check their mission or maybe even volunteer at a city near you!
