The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury is offering a new dental discount card program for residents, a police jury news release
said.
The program is administered by Careington International Corp. and NACo and offers affordable monthly and annual options to
take advantage of the discounts throughout the year.
“We are excited to offer this affordable, money-saving dental discount card program to our residents,” Tarek Polite, director
of Human Services, said in the news release. “We know that poor dental health can harm our general health. In these tough
times, many cannot afford to visit the dentist for check-ups and routine services. But through this program, residents can
get some welcome relief paying for those important health services.”
NACo President Chris Rodgers of Douglas County, Neb., said the program is not insurance but a dental discount program to member
counties.
Currently, there are 13 active providers. Patients should confirm provider participation when scheduling an appointment.
