Dental Clinic and School Offering Free Dental Services

Free dental services helps job seekers

Holland Township — I noticed a picture in The Sentinel recently of a local dental practice that volunteered hours to a free dental clinic, and I just wanted to say hooray!

I can only wish that more dentists and their staff would participate with services like this. I am one of those on a waiting list for such services because I am one of the thousands in our local area who does not have even health insurance because I could not afford coverage under COBRA.

I only regret that I cannot afford to keep my teeth nice because I have always kept my teeth up with dental care and now I cannot afford to do it.
