Partnership Brings Free Dental Services to Kids
Approximately 400 students in two of Jackson’s elementary schools will be receiving free dental screenings today and tomorrow through the Colgate “Bright Smiles/Bright Futures” mobile van. The van, which is in Jackson in partnership with the Jackson Medical Mall Foundation and the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Dentistry, will be at Brown Elementary School today and at Smith Elementary School tomorrow between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.
“Dental healthcare plays a crucial role in your overall health. Introducing proper dental care to children early on, like brushing, flossing and annual dental visits, will transfer to healthy habits later,” said Jackson Medical Mall Foundation Executive Director Primus Wheeler in a statement. “We realize that children may not have access to a dentist office, so we are happy to work with UMMC Dental School and Colgate to bring this service to them directly.”
