Please encourage your teen to have a dental screening.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">For more information on the program call 705-721-7520 or toll free 1-877-721-7520 ext. 8804 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) or visit our website at www.simcoemuskokahealth.org.</p><p> </p><p> </p> | | | |
