More than 1,700 patients received dental services at this four-day event. More than 400 dental professionals and students volunteered their time, including dentists, oral surgeons, dental hygienists, and dental assistants.

Washington state's Apple Health dental program investments are good health policy and the right thing to do. When left unaddressed, oral health problems can become serious, impacting health, employment, well-being and burdening people with costly dental treatments. #teethmatter
