Video - Dental Program at MontCo Community College

In 2011, the foundation supported the Montgomery County Community College with a grant of $21,400 In continued support of the "Eliminating Dental Caries Across the Lifespan" project.

The Montgomery County Community College Dental Hygiene Clinic has been providing the public with comprehensive and preventive dental hygiene services for close to two decades. The clinic, located at the Central Campus in Blue Bell, utilizes modern equipment and the latest technological advances.

Over 5,000 adults and children in the North Penn region have received dental screening and education services in the last decade. Educational prevention programs and oral care screenings are also provided at area senior centers.

All treatment procedures are supervised by licensed dentists and dental hygiene faculty. The Dental Hygiene Clinic operates September through May, by appointment.

Services offered through the Dental Clinic work to address the foundation's priority of promoting access to quality health and human services. The foundation also participates in the Pennsylvania Coalition for Oral Health, a diverse group of funders and public and private sector leaders from across the state whose goal is to advance practices and policies that increase access to oral health services and prevention education especially for our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians.
