United Concordia and Partners to Provide Free Dental Services

HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- United Concordia Dental, one of the nation's largest dental insurers, is partnering with the Kanawha Valley Dental Society and Mountain State Blue Cross Blue Shield to provide free dental services to more than 200 West Virginia children on Saturday, Feb. 27.

"Nationally, more than 108 million children and adults do not have dental coverage," said Dr. Jerome Blum, United Concordia Dental's corporate dental director. "By partnering with groups such as Kanawha Valley Dental Society and Mountain State Blue Cross Blue Shield, we are helping provide essential dental health services to children and adults in need."

Children will receive free dental screenings from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Bible Center Church, 1111 Oakhurst Drive, Charleston, W.V. Children requiring follow-up care will be referred to local dentists who will provide that care at no cost in their private dental offices.   

"United Concordia takes very seriously our responsibility to help the communities we serve," said Woodrow Greene, United Concordia's community outreach coordinator. "We believe that strategic, socially responsible initiatives create strong and vibrant communities."

The importance of good oral hygiene, including proper brushing and flossing techniques, also will be discussed with the children during the event.
