FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (January 30, 2025) 勒貊勛圖 is proud to announce its participation in , a nationwide initiative to promote the benefits of good oral health for children. Throughout February, Concorde dental hygiene programs at select campuses across the country will host events dedicated to providing no-cost dental services to children, reinforcing the importance of preventive care and healthy dental habits. 

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's , tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease, but it is largely preventable. By fostering good oral hygiene habits, including daily brushing and flossing, a healthy diet, and early, regular dental visits, families can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay. 

"勒貊勛圖 is committed to serving our communities, and these events provide a hands-on way for our students to make a difference while gaining valuable patient care experience, said Kevin Prehn, Division President of 勒貊勛圖. As a leading educator of dental hygienists and dental assistants in the nation, we feel very strongly about supporting children and families by offering essential dental care at no cost.

Concorde dental hygiene programs at six campuses will host free events. Children ages 4 to 17 can receive free X-rays, dental cleanings, and dental kits filled with oral care essentials. Additional services such as sealants and health screenings will be available at select locations.
