Because February is National Children’s Dental Health month, Frederiksted Health Care Inc. is inviting children 17 years and younger to attend its Drive-Thru Toothbrush Tuesday. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., every Tuesday, Feb. 23 through March 10, Frederiksted Health Care will be providing toothbrush kits to the youth of St. Croix free of charge.

The distribution locations are Northshore Health Center, 6C La Grande Princess, St. Croix (in the rear of the building) and the Lena Shulterbrandt Health Center at the Mall of St. Croix (next to K-mart West), which is the newest location.

Kits include: a toothbrush, toothpaste, flossers, educational activity sheets/brochures, and a surprise prize.
