Arlington, Va. – In celebration of National Children’s Dental Health Month, Dominion National is donating thousands of dental care kits to clinics and health departments throughout the mid-Atlantic region for the 14th consecutive year.

As a leading dental and vision insurer and administrator, Dominion is committed to raising awareness about the role of early intervention in combating childhood tooth decay. By providing dental kits containing toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, and educational materials, Dominion is giving children the tools and resources they need to build a lifetime of healthy oral hygiene habits.

"At Dominion, we are committed to fostering healthier communities by championing initiatives that promote oral health education and provide essential resources," said Vice President of Sales and Marketing Jeff Schwab. "We are honored to support the health and well-being of our youth through donations of dental kits to organizations that are providing care and services on the front lines in our communities."

Tooth decay is a leading chronic childhood disease that can interfere with a child’s ability to eat, speak, and learn, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dominion is committed to equipping children with the tools and knowledge they need to prevent cavities and maintain a healthy smile.
