Ark Health recently donated materials including alginate and impression trays for a mouthguard project run by the Dental Services Team at Illawarrra Aboriginal Medical Service, in conjunction with the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health.
The project enabled adults and children who play a contact sport in the Indigenous community to receive a custom fitted mouthguard to protect their teeth. Over one week, 40 Koori coloured mouthguards were created and everyone who received one was thrilled with the result. Sarah Mckay, Dental Services Team Manager, Illawarra Aboriginal Medical Service, said "Thank you Ark Health for your continued support of this great initiative!".
