Dental Health Program

Happy New Year, Cozy Families!!!

I am excited to report that the American Dental Foundation will again be supporting the Give Kids A Smile Program for 2019. 

This program helps to ensure that children, who may not otherwise have the means, can visit a participating dentist for emergency or preventative care for free. 

On February 1st, dentists throughout NJ offer free dental care for children ages 12 and younger.  There are over 100 participating dental offices!

If you or someone you know is interested, all they need to do is call the participating location of their choice and set up an appointment for February 1st.

For a list of participating locations or for more information, visit the GKAS (Give Kids a Smile) website at www.njda.org/gkas.

DO NOT DELAY, space fills up quickly!
