Dr. Lindell Kemmet

Bassett Creek is happy to introduce the newest member of our professional team, Dr. Lindell Kemmet. Dr. Kemmet has provided service to the United States Public Health System since his graduation from the University of Minnesota in 2007 and we are excited to have his energy and concern for patients added to our professional team. Dr. Kemmet is originally from North Dakota but he refers to the Twin Cities as his second home. He is a high school graduate of St. Croix Lutheran in West St. Paul and lived in Golden Valley throughout his training in dental school. For the past eight years, he has been highly involved as an advocate for both the patients and the profession of dentistry with his involvement in several professional organizations.

Outside of work, Dr. Kemmet also loves to cook and entertain for family and friends. Dr. Kemmet was raised on a farm in central North Dakota, nearly a mile from his nearest neighbor which can explain his aversion to Twin Cities rush hour traffic. His parents still live in North Dakota and he has two nephews living in South Dakota with his sister and her husband. Dr. Kemmet is settling back into the community becoming very involved in local events and activities. Bassett Creek Dental would like to say, “Welcome, Dr. Kemmet!”

Give Kids a Smile

On Saturday, February 7th, Bassett Creek Dental, joined thousands of dental volunteers across the state committed to providing access to quality dental care for all children. Our six general dentists and nineteen of our staff members volunteered their time and provided over $17,000 worth of complimentary dental services to thirty-nine children. Services provided included cleanings and exams, as well as sealants, fluoride treatments, and fillings. The two-day program, called “Give Kids a Smile,” was coordinated by the Minnesota Dental Association.

“Give Kids a Smile” is a grassroots effort of dental professionals in its 7th year. It is a part of a larger national campaign organized by the American Dental Association by the same name. About 30,000 children in Minnesota have received services through this program so far. This year about 500 dentists and 1500 other volunteers participated in about 200 locations throughout the state. This program is one example of what dentists and their staff are doing to address the oral care access problem. The Minnesota Dental Association is committed to all Minnesotans receiving quality oral care.
