Crest joins congressional leaders to prevent oral disease.

* Representatives Jeb Bradley (R-NH) and Tom Allen (D-ME) have introduced a bipartisan oral health resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives. The resolution calls for increased access to oral health care services and improved preventative strategies to curb long-term oral disease. Since the inception of Crest Healthy Smiles, the program has served 25 million at-risk children and their families through partnerships with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and the American Dental Association to provide children with low or no-cost dental care. It has also created 10 full-service dental clinics (Crest Smile Shoppes); dental vans managed by university dental programs; and an in-school curriculum that reaches 90% of first graders in the U.S.
