Parents were invited to return to the clinic for complimentary dental hygiene care. A $10,000 community service grant from the American Dental Hygienists鈥� Association Institute for Oral Health Foundation/Mars Wrigley Foundation funds the program designed to help combat tooth decay, the number one chronic childhood illness in America, and improve the health and lives of children in need.
