Bridging the Dental Gap is NOT federally funded.  We do not receive federal monies to operate.  Our income is strictly from patient payments, Medicaid, insurance payments, grants and donations.  BDG is a non-profit 501 (C) 3 organization.  We are a member of the United Way agencies. 

Currently 600 plus patient appointments for dental care are provided each month.   All patient care is handled through appointments.  Toothpain patients are given appointments as soon as possible, some the same day for at least a screening and emergency care.     

Some of the school children from Riverside School in Bismarck who attended the Sealant Day for SEAL ND! with their teachers and School Nurse.  Robyn Stearns from the ND Oral Health Department spent the day with us.   The First Lady Mikey Hoeven also came to greet the children.  They learned about oral health and had sealants placed to prevent decay.
