Anyone with questions, or who is interested in scheduling an appointment for Feb. 1, may call the dental office at 320-864-3129.
The Minnesota Dental Association is sponsoring “Give Kids a Smile” because dentists are committed to providing all children with dental care and improving access to care throughout Minnesota.
“Give Kids a Smile” is an annual one-day volunteer initiative to provide free educational, preventive and restorative services to children from low-income families that do not have dental insurance. Now in its 10th consecutive year, “Give Kids a Smile” has provided free dental care to nearly 40,000 children.
Patients seeking appointments should be under the age of 18 and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Information on specific services that will be provided will be outlined when an appointment is scheduled. You must have an appointment in advance of your visit.
The Minnesota Dental Association is the voice of dentistry in Minnesota, representing 80 percent of practicing dentists. It is committed to the highest standards of oral health and access to care for all Minnesotans. Learn more at: www.mndental.org.
