Free Dental Screenings for DE Kindergartens Launch Spring Semester

A bill passed last year ensures kindergarteners throughout Delaware will have free dental screenings before the end of the 2024-2025 school year, reports Delaware Public Media. Passed through House Bill 83, the initiative sends dental professionals to schools, ensuring students miss no more than 15 minutes of class. Affording dental care is a concern for many families across the country – in 2023, 13% of Americans reported cost barriers to dental care.
