Hawaiʻi Dental Service Foundation has provided a $133,447 grant to continue a public school dental sealant program that screened more than 650 children during the last school year, two thirds of whom received dental sealants at no-cost.

Hawaiʻi Dental Service, the state’s leading dental benefits provider, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year by giving HDS Smile Kits to more than 11,000 kindergarten children in 208 Title I schools throughout the state beginning in May 2022.

Paloma will succeed Mark Yamakawa, current HDS president and chief executive officer, who announced his retirement earlier this year.
