Oral hygiene education and preventive dental care are effective and inexpensive ways to improve the quality of a patient’s life. Dental schools and dental students have the unique ability to serve their community, including traditionally underserved populations. This grant is generously supported by Colgate.
Purpose of the Grant
This $500 grant is awarded to five chapters and is intended to support ASDA chapters in the development and implementation of a new program or event that focuses on prevention of dental disease and/or promotion of oral health for any underserved population within the community.
