Programs and Services

Dental Assistance
KFL&A Public Health established the Dental Treatment Assistance Fund, a charitable resource, to assist KFL&A residents over the age of 18 who are in need of emergency dental treatment but don’t have the financial means to pay for it. The program is funded by local dentists, community agencies, and proceeds from the Sports Mouthguard Program.

Dental Health Program
KFL&A Public Health’s dental program regularly promotes oral health through media campaigns and area elementary schools.

Sports Mouthguard Program
For $55, KFL&A Public Health manufactures custom mouthguards for athletes. The proceeds go to the Dental Treatment Assistance Fund to assist people who are in financial need of emergency dental services.
