A dental program targeting disadvantaged children expects to serve 3,000 kids and 1,000 pregnant moms in San Bernardino County over a three-year period.

The Oakland-based Dental Health Foundation last week received a $1.2 million grant from First Five San Bernardino to provide care for kids and expectant moms and give educational instruction to parents and would-be parents, said Wynne Grossman, executive director of the Oakland-based Dental Health Foundation.

Much of the free treatment and education, about teeth brushing and diet, will occur in the offices for the San Bernardino County Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program, which includes locations in San Bernardino, Redlands, Chino and Rancho Cucamonga.

Dental care is ridiculous :roll: . I have a two-year old, $2800 bridge which is loose... may be decaying underneath... may need root canals and a new bridge = another $5-6000. Who can afford that??? :mad:
