The Delta Dental of Arkansas Board of Directors has approved a $35,000 Grant to Conway Regional Interfaith Dental Clinic to improve oral health access and awareness.
"Access to dental care is foundational to an individual's overall health and wellness. We are thankful to the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation for supporting high quality, low-cost dental care to children and adults throughout north Central Arkansas," said Matt Troup, president and CEO of Conway Regional Health System.
The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation seeks to expand access to oral healthcare in underserved areas. According to the foundation, recipients were selected based on the proposed project's innovativeness and potential impact on Arkansans' oral health.
"We proudly recognize Conway Regional Interfaith Dental Clinic's work and have selected it as one of our grant recipients," said Sharon Lanier, PhD, executive director of the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation. "By increasing access to dental care, we can help improve the oral and overall health and well-being of children and adults by preventing serious health issues down the road."
The Conway Regional Interfaith Dental Clinic provides high-quality, low-cost dental care to those who may not have dental insurance. Patients can receive dental services, including bridges, cleanings, crowns, extractions, fillings, selective root canals, and X-rays. Each patient receives an individual plan that includes the cost of their dental care.
The dental clinic moved this past March to a new, more centrally located site at 810 Locust in Conway. More information about the Conway Regional Interfaith Dental Clinic can be found at https://crhs.healthcare/interfaithdental or by calling (501) 932-0559.
