MARQUETTE -- Helping area students maintain healthy smiles starts with being prepared when a dental emergency happens.
The Marquette County Health Department, in partnership with the Superior District Dental Society and Peninsula Pharmacy, is providing area schools with "Transport a Tooth" kits. The tooth saver kits help students and school staff respond quickly when a permanent tooth is knocked out.
Once again, Peninsula Pharmacy donated the tooth saver kits for free! The MCHD will distribute the kits in September. A kit is used if a student has a tooth accidentally knocked out during school hours.
The solution will preserve the avulsed tooth until the student can get to the dental office, hopefully within an hour.
Call the Marquette County Health Department at 906-475-9977 for additional information.
