Sonrisas dentists serve low-income Coastside families


By on Sat, November 26, 2005

Sonrisas Community Dental Center in Half Moon Bay provides service to low-income families on the Coastside.  The County Times has a nice story by Julia Scott about the good work they do. Sonrisas sees 1,900 kids a year. Seventy percent come from Spanish-speaking families; many are children of farmworkers.

The story points out one interesting consequence of development that has outstripped our water system: these kids are getting water from wells that has not been fluoridated.
