Comfort Dental will host its 31st annual Care Day on Wednesday, December 24, 2014, offering free dental care to those in need. All Comfort Dental general dentistry offices throughout 12 states (Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and Washington) will participate. Offices will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
On Care Day, all services are free to anyone. Patients are helped on a first-come, first-served basis and receive a variety of basic dental care from cleanings to extractions. More serious dental problems are handled on a case-by-base basis at the discretion of the individual dentist. Nationally, about 300 Comfort Dental dentists and 2,500 staff members donate their time on Care Day.
"We provide free dental care to help people. If someone has a bad tooth, hopefully we can make them feel better," stated Rick Kushner, DDS, Comfort Dental president and founder, in a press release. "For some people, including kids, Care Day might be the only time they see a dentist all year. We're dentists, so we give away dental services for the holidays."
The general public should contact their local Comfort Dental office for more information. For office locations, see ComfortDental.com.
