Gov. DeWine announces plans for dental pilot program for school children

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced a $6 million pilot program to improve dental health for school-age children in nine counties, including Clinton County, which face dental care shortages.
The Ohio Children's Dental Services Pilot Program will serve nine counties with Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas, including Clinton County, focusing on children who need dental care.
The program may provide dental services to up to 12,000 Ohio children who did not see a dentist in the past year, pending approval from the General Assembly.
DeWine emphasized the importance of addressing poor dental health, stating it can hinder children's ability to learn, eat, and socialize effectively.
