Grants to help two Victorian dental programs
The Australian Dental Association Foundation and the Wrigley Company Foundation have awarded a total of $US82,000 in grants to 13 volunteer groups. Two Victorian projects each received $US6000.
The University of Melbourne/The D3G Group/Student Power received continuing funding for their community service grant. This year’s funds will help educate students and the community to better understand and care for children with developmental dental defects (D3) and the under-recognised connection with early childhood tooth decay. The grant will be used to launch the next phase of educational materials including storybooks, referral cards and new website content for at-risk children.
Funding will allow North Richmond Community Health’s Oral Health Program to partner with Scope Victoria to provide in-home oral health assessments and education to people with disabilities, as well as an oral health workshop for both disability support and oral health practitioners.
