Minnesota dentists will celebrate Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) day by providing free dental care to less fortunate children on February 5 and 6 at nearly 200 locations across the state.
The Minnesota Dental Association (MDA) is sponsoring this outreach effort for the eighth consecutive year, the organization announced. More than 2,500 volunteer dentists and dental professionals will participate in this event.
"We know that government-funded programs for families have been dramatically cut. Volunteer dentists are trying to close the gap for the low income children who are not getting the dental care they need and deserve," said Robert Templeton, D.M.D., president of the MDA. "With no eligibility requirements and no insurance paperwork for patients, each volunteer dentist treats these children straight from the heart."
