The Greater Milwaukee Dental Association is offering free dental care to children from low-income families at the 12th annual Give Kids A Smile Screening Day on Saturday, January 25.
The care will be provided by 50 dentists and 145 other volunteers, including dental hygienists and assistants, dental and hygiene students, and other helpers. Treatments offered will include dental exams, teeth cleanings, and fluoride treatments. The value of care provided on screening day and during subsequent treatment appointments is estimated to be $90,000.
The care will be provided at the Marquette University School of Dentistry to children from ages 3 to 16 from 9:00 a.m. until noon. Patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis and some necessary follow-up treatment appointments will be made for February 7.
