A to Z Children's Dental, LLC-Partners Der. Marc Gladney, Dr. Pamela Kaminski, Dr. Robbin Berrin and Tammy Mandagaran - provides comprehensive dentistry including preventative maintenance, to children and youth in the underserved Gallup and Grants area. It is a full service clinic, offering everything from simple dental check-ups to X-rays, root canals, correcting cleft lips and fitting children for braces. The clinic serves patients from six months to 20 years old, using modern, effective treatment procedures and equipment. Prevention is a major theme in Dr. Galdney's dental philosophy as well. He states, "It is important to show children the proper skills to maintain a healthy oral hygiene, which is why our dentists and orthodontists work together to create a fun and informative experience for children, so they can prevent frequent dental visits.
Dr. Gladney states that NMSU-Grants SBDC was invaluable in aiding his clinic's rapid stabilization and expansion. "We have grown from having two employees to seven. In 2007 our schedule was lightly booked for only a couple of weeks in advance, and we are now booked heavily for three to five weeks in advance. We have experienced a 30 percent increase in gross revenues in the last six months and have replaced much of the used equipment we started with, one piece at a time, without incurring debt. We received useful advice and information about tax issues and accounting so that we can talk to and understand our accountant and various state and federal agency business regulations."

A sincere thank you to all whose support and dedication made our Center a reality. A special thank you goes to Retired Senator Joseph A. Fidel, who obtained the legislative appropriation for the purchase and remodeling of the new NMSU Grants Small Business Development Center.
As we move forward into our new office space, we recently received our classroom desks, chairs, and a portion of our IT equipment. Our IT equipment will include laptops to be used by clients for computer classes that will support their entrepreneurial endeavors. We currently have two computer work stations, work rooms for planning and counseling, and have plans to expand our library resources. The new building houses classroom space that has a maximum occupancy of 35 students. Should you find yourself in our area, please come by visit and say hello or if we can be of service our doors are always open.
