Difficult economic conditions have had a negative impact on the health of Arizona's children at a time when they are undergoing the most dynamic changes in their physical and mental development. Scottsdale Dental Arts, the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Fry's Food Stores are committed to working together to help raise healthy children by emphasizing the importance of good oral hygiene, preventive dentistry, exercise, and good nutrition to control the onset of disease. This community involvement, called "Batting for Smiles" was a huge success this year.
The winner of the 2009 season of Batting for Smiles, was registered by his parents when they used their Fry's V.I.P card between August 4 and September 11 at any Fry's Food Store's valley location. Dr. McCargar organized to have the winner greeted at his school by Trent Oeltjen - outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks - and Baxter - the Arizona Diamondback's Mascot. While Trent was signing autographs and Baxter was having pictures taken, Dr. McCargar spoke with the rest of the class about healthy smiles. Dr. McCargar said that as a family and cosmetic dentist he thinks it is fun and important to be involved with the local community and really enjoyed working with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Fry's for this year's event.
