Lakeshore Public Radio's Dee Dotson speaks to Donna S. Krause, Assistant Dean, College of Health and Human Services Director as well as the Dental Education Clinical Associate Professor about the upcoming event. The campaign is aimed at increasing accessibility and awareness for dental care, providing free dental exams, cleanings and oral health education for underserved children in the Region.
