Free dental clinic Feb. 1 for uninsured youngsters
2/1/2019, 6 a.m.
Virginia Commonwealth University Dental Care’s Pediatric Practice is hosting “Give Kids a Smile,” a free dental clinic for youngsters age 18 and under.
From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, pediatric dental specialists will provide exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions and minor restorations to children who do not have dental insurance.
The event will be held at the Lyons Dental Building, 520 N. 12th St.
Appointments are encouraged by calling (804) 828-9095. Walk-ins are welcome, but are not guaranteed to be seen.
Give Kids a Smile was created by the American Dental Association and is an annual focus of the National Children’s Dental Health Month in February.
Last year, VCU pediatric specialists saw 130 patients during the event and provided nearly $59,000 worth of care.
