Smiles Across America (SAA), an Oral Health America (OHA) program, in conjunction with Trident gum, welcomed the CincySmiles Foundation of Cincinnati to the SAA network with a $25,000 grant to expand dental services to at-risk children in Cincinnati Public Schools.
With the new partnership, CincySmiles will change its model of delivering preventive oral healthcare and will deliver services to an additional 1,000 elementary school students during the 2010-2011 school year and an additional 5,000 children per year within three years, according to OHA.
With the help of a $1.5 million, three-year commitment by Trident to the SAA program, Oral Health America currently supports dental services to more than 250,000 children annually in underserved communities across the U.S. Together with local communities, SAA and Trident are working to address the need for school-based and school-linked oral disease prevention services.
