According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease in America. More than 50 percent of five to nine year-old children have one cavity or filling and 25 percent of poor children have not seen a dentist before entering kindergarten.
Delta Dental, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Community Health, will host a FREE dental clinic at the Western Wayne Family Health Center (26650 Eureka Road, Taylor MI 48180) for underserved children tomorrow from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
This event is FREE and open to children grades 1st – 7th.
Parents interested in registering their children should call (734) 941-4991. Registration is encouraged but not required.
Sealants and varnishes are part of a child’s preventative dental maintenance. They will help to prevent cavities, but does not replace fillings. For children without dental coverage, sealant and varnish could mean the difference between a life with good oral health and one plagued with dental problems.
Participating children will also receive FREE oral health kits including a toothbrush, dental floss, timer and other goodies.
Enjoy!
