Lynwood Rite Aid hosts free dental exams for kids
From staff reports
America’s
most common childhood disease is easily preventable. Dental caries
(cavities) is the single most common disease of childhood. Recent
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics show that school-aged
children miss approximately 51.6 million school hours every year
