All smiles for free dental treatment
FREE dental treatment is being offered to people who have not seen a dentist for two years. It includes a check up, fillings, root canal work, extraction, crowns, dentures and bridges.
Health trust NHS Mid Essex is offering the treatment to people in Chelmsford, Braintree, Maldon, Witham, Halstead and surrounding areas. Twenty dental practices across the area are participating in the scheme, which will only run from February 1 to March 31.

Free dental clinic may close
All those people who rely on the nonprofit healthcare organization could soon lose free dental treatment, as Mission of Mercy struggles to fund the program. Though many more people are seeking the group’s free medical and dental services, donations from foundations, individuals and businesses have dropped by 10 to 20 percent.
The free dental clinic, which also serves patients in Carroll County and in Pennsylvania, could also become a victim if the organization is unable to raise $15,000 for the program by Feb. 1. It costs $45,000 per year to run the program, but the organization so far has gathered only $30,000, Liddle said.
Now, the nonprofit is appealing to “anyone who has ever had a bad toothache” to help preserve the free dental clinic.
