The Third District Dental Society in partnership with Wilkes-Barre Volunteers in Medicine donated dental bags for all Luzerne County Head Start preschool children to celebrate February’s National Children’s Dental Health Month.

Member dentists and professionals strive to serve the public, improve their health, promote the art and science of dentistry and represent the interests of its members and the people they serve.

Volunteers in Medicine is a non-profit, community based organization developed to help meet the primary health care needs of the working uninsured and the underinsured populations in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
