It's the sixth annual project by the Pasco-Hernando Community College dental program and volunteer dentists and hygienists from the community. Families must meet income criteria (200% of the U.S. Poverty Rate or below, to see the Poverty rates, click here), and children must be ages 6 to 17.
You must pre-qualify, in person, between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM on one of the following dates:

On Friday, February 12, prequalified children will be seen for a screening, X-rays, a cleaning and sealants if needed.
On Friday, February 26, children may receive follow-up care such as fillings and extractions if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Living Wills
What is a Living Will?
Every competent adult has the right to make a written declaration commonly known as a "Living Will." The purpose of this document is to direct the provision, the withholding or withdrawal of life prolonging procedures in the event one should have a terminal condition. The suggested form of this instrument has been provided by the Legislature within Florida Statures SEction 765.303. In Florida, the definition of "life prolonging procedures" has been expanded by the Legislature to include the provision of food and water to terminally ill patients.
What is the difference between a Living Will and a legal will?
A Living Will should not be confused with a person's legal will, which disposes of personal property on or after his or her death, and appoints a personal representative or revokes or revises another will.

Prescriptions, Medicines, and Online Pharmacies
The internet can really save time and make everyday tasks easier such ordering a pizza, checking your bank statements, paying your bills, and staying in-touch with your friends. With that in mind, there are still some drawbacks with using the internet for filling prescriptions or purchasing medicines. While shopping at a pharmacy online eliminates a lot of hassles, there are a lot of websites that offer either questionable or illegal drugs. Some of the sites themselves may be completely fraudulent. Here are a couple of tips you should keep in mind:
- Does the web site have the VIPPS seal?
- Is the web site in good standing with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy?
- Will they sell me prescription medication without a prescription?
