Dental Care Available for Your Children!

Dental Care Available for Your Children!

The Miles of Smiles (MOS) mobile dental unit is scheduled to be in Holland throughout the school year. The mobile dental unit provides free, preventive and restorative dental services for financially-qualifying children.  Unfortunately, MOS will not be visiting Corpus Christi School this year. However, they want parents to know that you can schedule your child to be seen on the mobile unit when they locate at a school in the Holland School District or West Ottawa School District.
