For 50 years, the Dental Aid Program provided dental care for eligible CPS students, in cooperation with school nurses and staff, parents, local dentists, and our dedicated KD&S members who provided transportation to and from school for dental care.  The program changed its scope last year to address the changing needs of our community. The Kings Daughters Dental Aid Fund is managed by the Community Foundation of Central Missouri and provides increased access to more children and now includes young adults needing dental care.  The Kings Daughters Dental Aid Fund serves eligible individuals between the ages of 5 and 22 in the Boone County area.  Annually, service agencies in the Boone County area are invited to apply for grants to fund dental care for their clients.  

Though access to dental insurance and MC+ has improved for some, there are still children and young adults who surprisingly cannot afford dental care. Good oral health is a gift that can last a lifetime.  Freedom from tooth pain or infection can keep a student in the classroom learning and it can keep a young adult on the job while taking classes at a local college.  Please be generous and help give someone a smile by donating to KD Dental Aid Fund.
