Parents love the NYU Lutheran Dental School Health Program .
Most of the kids we care for have two working parents . They can ’ t afford to take time off of work or want to pull their child out of school for a dental appointment . By having their children seen at a School Based Dental Clinic , parents reduce the likelihood that their child will miss school due to dental pain .
