National Maternal Mental Health Hotline

The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline was launched in 2022 to provide specialized support to pregnant and new mothers. This is not a crisis line. If you feel you are in suicidal crisis, please contact 988 or go to the nearest emergency room. 

Dental Care While Pregnant 

Dental care is especially important while pregnant. Once your baby is born, you can pass cavity causing bacteria to your baby. Learn more about dental care before, during and after pregnancy here. 

Dental care is safe at any stage of pregnancy, but you might find it uncomfortable to sit in a dental chair for long periods of time as you approach your due date. Schedule an appointment early in your pregnancy to make the experience easier. However, you can receive dental care at any stage of pregnancy. 

Childhood Lead Exposure

There is not a safe level of lead for children. Even low levels of lead in the blood can result in developmental problems such as delayed growth, learning difficulties or delayed speech. 

The good news is that lead exposure is preventable. The risk of lead exposure for any child depends on many factors. Healthcare providers can screen for lead exposure risk to determine if a blood lead test is appropriate. 

Birth to Three Program

Birth to Three is a program in Asotin County dedicated to helping children who are behind on meeting their developmental milestones. Anyone can refer a child, even a family member. Once referred, Birth to Three will arrange for an evaluation and develop an intervention plan, if needed. 

Early intervention can make a huge difference. If you are concerned about your child's development, reach out to begin your evaluation.
