Line forms for care at free dental clinic

The line for free dental care began to form last night at 9:30, nearly 10 hours before the doors were to open today at Papillion-LaVista South High School free dental clinic.

By the time the clinic closes on Saturday, more than 1,000 patients are expected to be served.

Stephen Scott of North Loup, Neb., was among those who camped out overnight to be among the first in line today. He and his wife slept in their car.

“I (wanted) to be ahead of the game,” he said.

He said neither he nor his wife has dental insurance. He had his teeth cleaned and his wife needed a root canal, a procedure that at a private office could have cost the couple $600 to $800 out of pocket.
