Free Dental Care Available Saturday During Give Kids A Smile Day

March 11, 2011

Children from low income families can receive free dental care at a Saturday clinic.

An estimated 400 or more children will receive free dental services ranging from preventative care such as cleanings, sealants and fluoride treatment, to fillings and extractions as part of National Give Kids A Smile Day.

Give Kids A Smile is a nationwide program sponsored by the American Dental Association (ADA) and locally implemented by members of the Escambia-Santa Rosa Dental Society. Approximately 30 local dentists, over 100 dental hygienists and dental assistants, and numerous student and community volunteers will donate their time and skills to provide these free services to eligible children between the ages of 4 and 18 who cannot otherwise afford dental treatment.

The event will take place at the Pensacola State College Warrington Campus located at 5555 U.S. Highway 98 West .Treatment is on a first-come first-served basis.

ECAT will provide free rides on regular routes to the Pensacola State College campus for patients and their families. For a flyer that will serve as your ECAT ticket, click here.
