U-M dental students will provide free dental care for underserved women in Wayne County with the help of a $5,000 grant from the Delta Dental Foundation.
The foundation granted the funds through its Brighter Futures Community Grant program. The project’s main affiliation is with Dearborn, Mich.-based Vista Maria, a nonprofit that helps abused girls and women rebuild their lives.
This goal of the project is for third- and fourth-year dental students to provide free, comprehensive dental care to the 120 female residents of Vista Maria. Credentialed volunteer dentists will supervise the work.
