Free dental care for need children
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Needy children in the Wabash Valley can now get valuable dental care free of charge!
Nearly two dozen children received free dental care Thursday at Ryves Hall Youth Center in Terre Haute.
It’s a partnership between the non-profit group and the IU School of Dentistry, a mobile dental office called the Seal Mobile Program. There, dental students provide sealants, examine teeth and flouride teeth for needy children either free of charge or through medicaid.
With help of students, homeless Veterans stand down
BOSTON, Massachusetts–For some 7,000 Massachusetts veterans who have defended their country abroad, the return home is plagued with homelessness and a dire need of supportive services.
Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine students and staff hygienists will be part of the solution Aug. 8 as they provide free dental screenings and information to veterans at Boston’s Operation Stand Down in Clifford Park.
Operation Stand Down, named for the act of returning to a secure base camp after combat to find meals, personal hygiene care, and medical services, will provide just that. Veterans will have access to haircuts, clothing, food, housing advice and health screenings.
With good oral health increasingly recognized as a key to overall wellbeing, BUGSDM looks forward to meeting many men and woman at the event.

During the school year, Dentist Dwayne Summers and his SIUC staff visit many area grade schools. Over summer vacation, they take their Dental Sealant Program on the road. The team sets up a one-day clinic in several locations. Other local sites have included the Carbondale Boys and Girls Club, General John A. Logan Attendance Center, and Zion Missionary Baptist Church.
The Dental Sealant Program is a preventative effort, working to reduce the incidence of cavities as children grow to adulthood. Funding has been provided by the Illinois Department of Public Health since 2000.
