MINNEAPOLIS — Having good hygiene can make a kid happier, healthier and more confident.
That's why Delta Dental is sending 50,000 dental health kits to first-graders. The Smiles@School program works with more than 600 Minnesota schools to get these kits to students.
Dr. Eileen Crespo, with Delta Dental, came in to the KARE 11 studio to talk about the program.
For more information on the program and to see if your child qualifies, go to Delta Dental's website.
