CareCredit has awarded a $10,000 grant to Oral Health America to help the Smiles Across America program include oral health services for adolescents.
The grant will be given to the Huntridge Teen Clinic in Las Vegas to provide dental care to uninsured and at-risk adolescents who are 12 to 18 years old and unable to obtain services through local agencies, according to a company press release.
One of the clinic's dental success stories is Raymundo, who came to the clinic in 2003 as a 12-year-old suffering from amelogenesis imperfecta (abnormal enamel formation), CareCredit noted. Raymundo has finished his treatment and is now studying to be a dental hygienist at the College of Southern Nevada in Henderson.
