The Children’s Dental Health Project (CDHP) will administer a $1 million grant received by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) to improve the oral health of pregnant women and young children, including those in Early Head Start, WID, and other maternal and child health populations. The grant, “Improving Perinatal Oral Health,” was awarded to the AAPD by the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau through its Partnership to Promote Maternal and Child Health program.

For its Children’s Dental Day VI, June 4 and 5 of this year, dental and dental hygiene students, faculty, and staff traveled 400 miles on a seven-plus hour journey to take their free dental clinic to children in western Nebraska.
