Results of the Children's Art Contest

During the later part of 2010 Dr. Sarkissian sponsored a Children's Art Contest. It is now closed and we are glad to report some firs results.

The idea behind this contest was that biological dentistry, as practiced by Dr. Sarkissian, does not only consider the symptoms a single tooth might display, but instead looks at the body as a whole to find a real cure and not only a fix for a symptom. Expanding on this principle, consideration of mental, spiritual and aesthetic health enters the picture, going beyond mere physical health.

With this in mind, Dr. Sarkissian announced a Children's Art Contest to address growth of aesthetic health. To also encourage mental health and expansion, this was a charitable event with all the proceeds being donated to the Ark Family Center, Inc., a non-profit organization targeting today’s youth, encouraging personal growth and awareness, and providing seminars, mentorship and leadership programs.

Let's now look at the results in the different categories. Also please feel to go to the album Dr. Sarkissian has created on Facebook if you would like to comment.
