Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry Dean Mert N. Aksu is featured in a ProPublica article examining the debate over fluoride in St. Clair County’s drinking water.

Aksu highlights the importance of evidence-based, science-driven decision-making in shaping policies that protect oral and public health.

We’re excited to share that Detroit Mercy Dental has partnered with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and Priority Health on a grant-funded initiative to support perinatal oral health!

📅 Wednesday, July 30 | 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
📍 Corktown Campus – Patient Lobby

Join us for Perinatal Oral Health and Resources Day, where pregnant and perinatal individuals can:
🦷 Learn about the importance of oral health during and after pregnancy
🤝 Connect with social services
🩺 Receive oral health screenings

Those who choose to become patients will be matched with a dental student or AEGD resident—and all necessary treatment will be covered by the grant while funds last.

Let’s help more families access the care they deserve.
