Qualifying children will receive a dental education along with:
- a dental examination
- x-rays
- cleanings

The program is being held at Collin College's Dental Hygiene School in McKinney on Saturday January 30 ONLY. Participants are responsible for providing their own transportation and translator, if needed.
If you believe your child qualifies or if you would like to recommend a child to receive these services, please contact Katherine Smith at 903 482-8826 or krsmith@ednet10.net for an application form by Friday January 15. Because we have been given a limited number of slots, this deadline is firm.
