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.
