Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe to benefit from $100,000 dental grant

Oral health is health. Washington state's Apple Health dental investments, DentistLink, and targeted efforts for young children and pregnant people that make care more accessible are smart health policies that create healthier communities. #teethmatter

Brushing, flossing, and drinking fluoridated water support healthy smile. But access to dental care matters, too. Washington leaders must maintain strong oral health investments so everyone can get the care they need, when they need it. #teethmatter

Maintaining Apple Health oral health investments is a clear win: better health outcomes, fewer untreated dental issues, and more equitable access to care. State dental care investments are good policy and the right thing to do. #WALeg #teethmatter

Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. When kids have access to regular oral health care, small problems don't become big ones - helping build healthy habits so kids can focus on being kids and learning. #teethmatter

Healthy parents help raise healthy kids. Lower income adults need consistent oral health coverage so they can stay healthy, avoid preventable pain, and model good oral health habits for their kids. #teethmatter
