The Orange County Health Department just got a $100,000 grant from the Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida to help educate and get pregnant women the help they need for their teeth.

The check presented during a press conference will help with a new program linking women of child bearing age to affordable dental health care -- all to help reduce infant death in Orange County.

The goal is to link at least 300 pre-conceptual or pregnant women to preventative dental treatment services by providing oral health exams and cleaning services.

Prevention of dental problems is key. Having your child see a kids dentist at an early age will help foster good dental habits and overall health for life.

Oral care is very essential for kids also as kids are in growing stage therefore taking care of teeth is very much important for them. Good diet and regular visit to dentist is very beneficial for dental care.
