Here are some of the services that will be available:

  • Dental screenings, X-rays, cleanings, extractions, fillings
  • Temporary partials for adults; screenings and sealants for children
  • Podiatry and dermatology services
  • Hearing screenings and ear exams (Saturday only)

Patients received in 2023 an estimated $800,000 in free dental services.

“We’re expanding this year’s footprint to allow for more patients, providers and community partners. Patients will have an opportunity to access multiple services all at the same location, and our volunteer providers can educate them on the link between oral health and chronic disease.”
