Oregon’s children have one of the highest rates of tooth decay in the United States, according to the Smile Survey by Oregon Dept. of Human Services. Working toward fulfill- ing its mission of improving oral health for Oregon’s chil- dren, The Dental Foundation of Oregon provides grants to a variety of worthwhile com- munity programs. The foun- dation has awarded $5,000 to Siskiyou Community Health Center (SCHC). The dental prevention program is co-sponsored by the Rogue Valley Dental So- ciety and SCHC. Children will receive dental education and prevention services. Ser- vices provided include dental screening and education, fluoride varnish and dental sealants on molar(s) if indi- cated (a thin preventative coating applied to chewing surfaces). These services are open to all children regardless of income or insurance status. Aubra Johnson, director of Dental Services for SCHC, states “With support of the local Rotary clubs and other community partners, the den- tal prevention program is able to provide these services in the Wellness On Wheels, a motor home that has been equipped as a dental opera- tory. “This community part- nership enables the dental prevention program to access children in rural areas.” The Dental Foundation of Oregon, established in 1982, is dedicated to improv- ing oral health for Oregon’s children. The foundation aims to change the rate of youth dental decay by funding community projects that fo- cus on prevention and educa- tion, and those that provide emergency dental care for children who are disadvan- taged and have no access to care. “We are proud to support organizations such as Siski- you Community Health Cen- ter,” said Karleanne Rogers, Dental Foundation of Oregon executive director. “They make a vitally important con- tribution to improving the oral health of disadvantaged children, Oregon’s most vul- nerable population.” The Dental Foundation of Oregon is a permanent en- dowment supported through individuals and organizations.
