The Free Clinic of Southwest Washington has received a $2,500 grant from Columbia Credit Union to help fund a children’s oral health program.
The clinic provides oral health services at its location at the Jim Parsley Center and at Clark County schools and community-sponsored events. Dental volunteers fill cavities and screen, seal and varnish children’s teeth, according to a clinic press release.
“We’re grateful for this support from Columbia Credit Union,” said Free Clinic Executive Director Barbe West. “Many of the children we treat have tooth pain severe enough to keep them out of school. We relieve their pain, give tips on preventive care and help them get back to the classroom.”
