PARACHUTE/BATTLEMENT MESA — Some hadn’t been to the dentist in a very long time. Some had never had any oral care. But more than 200 young kids in the Battlement Mesa/Parachute area had the opportunity recently in a first-ever local program that allowed them to have free dental cleanings for free.

Around 220 school children in District 16 received the free dental cleanings for two weeks between April 6 and 17 through a grant provided by the Caring for Colorado Foundation. The grant was administered by Garfield County Public Health in cooperation with Western Colorado Area Health Education Center.
