Since 2010, each year the clinic has:
•
Served more than 1,220 children

Performed more than 40,200 dental procedures
•
Provided more than $2,850,400 in free dental treatment
Children with oral disease experience terrible pain, have trouble eating and sleeping, have a higher incidence of absenteeism related to dental issues, and are less successful in school. Low income children in Oregon are disproportionately affected, yet there are very few safety nets to help treat and prevent oral disease for families who cannot afford care. And the worst part of all this is that dental decay is 100 percent preventable.
