Health center adding pediatric dental center

HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP0 - Giving children access to the dental care that they need.

Holyoke Health Center is going to add a pediatric dental center to its building. It's the last part of a $25 million project that started ten years ago. Congressmen Richard Neal and John Olver were there today. The center will give both access and education to parents of young children.

Jay Breines said. “We know the moms need some guidance. If we can get the mom hooked at that point about the importance of what they can do for their child the child will have a better healthy outcome.”

The oral health center in Holyoke is expected to open in six months.
