The Owens Community College Dental Hygiene Clinic is hosting a Kids Access to Dental Care Day. Dental decay is one of the biggest unmet health needs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 1 in 4 children aged 2-11 have untreated cavities.
Owens Community College’s goal is to increase the access to care in children to teach them healthy dental hygiene habits to prevent further decay and address any current decay present.
On Monday from 8-11 a.m. and Tuesday from 1-3 p.m., Owens will provide free dental services for children ages 6 months to 18 years old. Limited spots are available and appointments are required.
Call 567-661-7294 to make an appointment.
The Owens Community College Dental Hygiene Department provides free dental care such as dental cleanings, X-rays, sealants and fluoride.
