Free dental work offered to financially strapped residents
MT. VERNON — The United Way and a group of local dentists will be offering free dental services to financially strapped county residents who do not have insurance or Medicaid next month as part of the United Way Day of Action.
The nation-wide annual event is being held for the first time in the King City and United Way of South Central Illinois Executive Director Rhonda McCowen said the community dental need is the focus.
“We know there’s a community need for dental care for free in our county,” she explained. “There’s only one dentist that accepts Medicaid and often I get calls from people in need of affordable dental care, so this has been on the United Way Board’s mind for a while.”

Children get free dental work
Kindergartner Davin Jackson, 5, smiled for a photo Friday with his top lip tightened across his newly white two front teeth, which had just been repaired at Beach View Dental’s free children’s clinic.
Describing the work done, Davin said, “He brushed them and stuff and I had chip and a black spot and he got rid of it and took that cavity out and put a new one in.”
The idea to provide a day of free dental treatment to children came “from a couple of school nurses who are our patients and talked about the need,” said office manager Vicky Burrage.
