Investing in the lives of kids is important. They are the present and the future. The early years of their lives are critical in shaping their future and destiny. Unfortunately not all kids get a great start in life. Some, tragically are the victims of abuse and neglect. This should not be but it is an unfortunate reality of the world we live. It’s because of our belief in the importance of helping kids, especially the ones who have been unfairly abused and neglected that we began sponsoring Royal Family Kids Camp.

Tulsa orthodontists at Kirkpatrick & Lai Orthodontics are thrilled to be able to help Royal Family Kids Camp in their efforts to help abused kids that have been placed in the Oklahoma foster care system. For every new patient we receive we make a $10 donation to Royal Family Kids Camp. We believe that investing in the lives of children is the most important investment we can all make. It may not help your 401k or mutual funds but there is no doubt that it helps your joy about life when you know that you have made a difference in helping change a child’s life.

Royal Family Kids Camp lives by the following simple values.

Make Moments Matter.
Treat People Royally
Keep Moving Forward

We think those are fantastic values to live by. We strive to incorporate them into our orthodontic offices as well. When you visit us our dedicated and professional staff strives to treat you royally. We want you to feel comfortable and relaxed when you visit our offices. We strive to treat everyone like family. We also believe in making moments matter. It’s the little things. Like encouraging a patient to ask questions and taking time to get to know them individually that make the biggest difference over the long haul. It has been our attention to making these little moments happen that have led to so many fantastic relationships with patients over the last 50 plus years.

Partnering with Royal Family Kids Camp is not the only thing we are doing to make an investment in the lives of kids. We view our orthodontic care itself as being a great way to invest in kids. When a child receives proper orthodontic care at a young age it can have a huge impact on their overall health. It can not only help prevent the need for extensive oral surgery later in life but it can also help prevent other serious health risks. So in some way, every day we look at our job as helping to make an investment in the lives of kids to make this state a little better for everyone. Call 918-747-1346 to learn more.

What is ‘Giving Smiles, Giving Birthdays’? Giving smiles, giving birthdays is simple. For every new patient we receive we make a $10 donation to Royal Family Kids Camp. This helps them in their endeavors to better the lives of abused kids in the Oklahoma foster care system.

Every year Royal Family Kids Camp creates life changing moments in the lives of the children of abuse in Oklahoma. They put on clubs, train mentors, create awareness about abuse issues and put on incredible summer camps that include a giant birthday bash! We can’t think of a better way to define success than by asking ourselves the question. “How many kids did we help smile this year?”
