ood dental hygiene is important not only for appearance but as well as health. However, it can be a bit hard on the pockets too.
The Seton Center in Emmitsburg received a $20,000 grant that will be going towards it’s DePaul Dental Program.
The program is for dental patients 18-years and older who don’t have dental insurance or can’t afford it.
Although the dental progrm has been there since 2006, this is the first time they received a partnership grant from Frederick County.
“We have figured out that the average cost for one person, because of [the] type of work that needs to be done, is about $1,250. As you can see, $1,250 is a lot of money,” said Sister Martha Beaudoin, Seton Center.
With this grant, officials at the Seton Center said they will be able to help about 15 people.
