During National Children's Dental Health Month, which took place in February, more than 16,000 children across the country received free dental screenings and/or oral health education, announced Church Street Health Management (CSHM).
This was the third year when "Healthy Child, Happy Smile Day," together with supporting community outreach initiatives provided free dental screenings and taught children about brushing and flossing and the importance of regular dental visits.
As part of the company's "Healthy Child, Happy Smile Day," Church Street Health Management's associated network of (which consists of more than 70 dental clinics in 22 states throughout the U.S.) caregivers held free screenings and community events.
"Every day we see the impact that dental disease has on children and families," said Michael G. Lindley, Chairman and CEO of CSHM. "Unfortunately, tooth decay adversely affects children and families from low-income populations for a variety of reasons - the most dramatic being a lack of access to care. At CSHM associated centers, we strive to provide children and families with a lifelong dental home where they can get everything from preventative education to restorative treatment and advanced care such as orthodontics."
