Free dental exams offered as means to help Salvation Army
A Sioux Falls dentist is offering free exams to anyone willing to donate food or warm clothing to needy people in the community.
Dr. John Wightman at Western Dental is making the offer, along with $5 X-rays, as a way to give back to the community. The items donated – such as food and new coats, hats and gloves or a blanket – and the money for X-rays will be given to the local Salvation Army.
People feel good about giving and get to have their teeth checked in return, he said. “I don’t profit from it. The only thing I might profit from is meeting some new people.”
