HURON – Thousands of underserved children with oral care needs are benefiting each year through a partnership program between Delta Dental of South Dakota and local organizations.
One of the two trucks staffed by dentists, hygienists, assistants and coordinators is in Huron through next week.
Delta Dental communications manager Mike Mueller said the local site partners are the Huron Kiwanis Club and the Huron School District.
Site partners pay a $2,500 stipend each week, representing 11 percent of the $23,000 weekly cost of operating a truck, which are fully equipped dental clinics on wheels.
Eligible patients are those who are 21 years old and younger who haven’t seen a local dentist for two years or more, or live more than 85 miles away from a dentist, Mueller said.
