Early prevention and the age 1 dental visit are important but it can be difficult to find a dentist to treat infants and very young children.
The Points of Light project serves to help parents find dentists who treat infants and young children. Points of Light also seeks to educate physicians, families and dentists on the importance of having a dental visit by age 1.
To find a participating dentist in your area, please visit www.pointsoflightonline.org.
The Michigan Dental Association and the district dental societies of Detroit, Macomb and Oakland County, have joined forces with the Detroit Red Wings to promote oral health.
For five designated games, the Detroit Red Wings will donate $5 for every ticket purchased to support Give Kids A Smile Day events at the University of Detroit Mercy. Give Kids a Smile Day provides oral health care and education to large numbers of low income and disadvantage children. It also serves to inform policy makers of the ongoing challenges that low-income and disabled children face in accessing dental care.
