Free dental screenings

Among the bargains and collectibles is a booth that offers a unique service: free dental screenings. Operated by MCG, faculty members and dental students donate their time on the weekends. The booth is provided free of charge by Barnyard and a grant pays for all the supplies used. They act as an information center, giving advice to people who may not see a dentist on a regular basis. Some of their services are limited, such as the absence of an X-ray machine, leaving them to rely on what they can actually see and feel.
