The Department of Dental Hygiene in the College of Health Professions and the UAMS Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation Oral Health Clinic have been awarded a generous grant of $30,000 from the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation. This funding will be instrumental in continuing their mission to provide comprehensive preventive and interventional dental care, as well as vital oral health education, to underserved communities.

The grant aims to bolster the clinic's efforts in addressing the significant oral health disparities faced by many individuals who lack access to essential dental services. With this financial support, the clinic can expand its outreach programs, ensuring that more people receive the care and education they need to maintain good oral health.

The collaboration between UAMS and the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation underscores a commitment to improving health outcomes in the region. By focusing on preventive care and education, the initiative seeks to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources necessary to achieve and sustain optimal oral health.
