PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) – Central Illinois residents will have a chance to receive free dental services from Peoria Family Dental Care.
A news release from Peoria Family Dental says the event is part of Free Dentistry Day, a day dedicated to helping the growing number of Americans without dental insurance.
The event will be held on November 10 at 7310 N. Villa Lake Dr. Ste. B.
Dr. Bela Joshi of Peoria Family Dental Care believes this is a good way to see the dentist for those who cannot afford the visit.
“We understand that many people in our community and around the country have not been to the dentist for a long period of time. Some do not understand the importance of dental health, but more often they do not have financial opportunities”, said Dr. Joshi. “This event is a great opportunity for us to share our time and resources with those less fortunate and give back to the community.”
She continued, “Dental health is a vital part of a person’s overall health. Through this event, we hope to educate patients on the importance of dental health and encourage them to adopt a consistent oral care regimen.
Patients will be offered free cleanings and extractions from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. More information can be found here.
