Free Dental Screenings Available

It's Healthy Smile Week next week, and the U-B Dental School is teaming with Women's & Children's Hospital and 35 local dental offices to offer free and low-cost dental screenings for children. The program is in response to state legislation requiring schools to ask parents of children entering kindergarten, second, fourth, seventh, and tenth grades to provide a certificate verifying dental screening.
