Ayden’s pain was so severe that he was unable to sleep or eat.
The cause? Cavities that turned into infections.
For months, his mom tried everything she could to get him into a dentist, but with no success.
The pain got so severe his mom did the only thing she could think of and brought him to Children’s Wisconsin Emergency Department.
Many parents don’t realize dental disease is the most common childhood ailment and the number one reason kids miss school.
Watch Ayden’s story to learn how Children’s Wisconsin was able to get him the help he needed and how they’re determined to improve dental access for all kids and families.
In 2013, Calie Herbst, a former teacher with three little ones, saw a need for a “One Stop Shop” for family fun in Milwaukee. So she founded Milwaukee With Kids. Her goal was to find the best this city has to offer families and share it with other parents. In one place.
In 2019, she published “Exploring Milwaukee WIth Kids”, a comprehensive Milwaukee travel guide for families and kids.
She appears regularly on WISN News, Fox 6’s ‘Real Milwaukee’, B93.3, and Wisconsin Morning News. She has been featured in Medium, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, NPR, the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, and on CBS 58 News.
Calie is available for hosting, moderating and media appearances.
