Second free dental clinic planned
HEDGESVILLE - Due to an overwhelming response at last year’s free dental clinic, the United Way of the Eastern Panhandle has decided to sponsor a second one, slated for June 26 and 27.
The local clinic is a two-day session of free dental treatments, and patients can choose to have either a teeth cleaning, a filling or an extraction, all done by qualified and licensed dental professionals.
Last year’s free dental clinic brought in 500 patients on just its first day, with an average of 41 people an hour having work done on their smiles.
More than 800 volunteers and 65 dentists united to make the two-day event a success, and Shean said anyone interested in volunteering for this year’s clinic may register online at www.healthysmileswv.org or call her office at (304) 262-0048.
