According to the Ohio Department of Health access to dental services is the leading unmet health need for children and low-income adults in Ohio. So, in order to change that, City of Cincinnati officials have been working with the Bootsy Collins Foundation’s Kyle Willis Oral Care Program to raise awareness about unmet dental needs in the Cincinnati region. As a result of this partnership, $250,000 in funding was raised to provide 2,700 additional dental visits annually.
Now that many more are receiving dental health as a result of Bootsy’s efforts, the Master of Funk has a new name to add to the list: the Funky Tooth Fairy. Keep funking things up Bootsy!
