Are you in need of dental care but struggling to fit the cost into your budget? Our pay it forward program just might be for you! Our program offers FREE basic dental services, to those who qualify, by doing volunteer work in the community. We offer exams, x-rays, fillings, tooth removal, cleanings and treatment for gum disease. Volunteer work is done at local non-profit organizations. All dental care is provided by local, private dentists as their way of giving back to the community (they do not receive any compensation).
It’s As Easy As: (1) Attend one dental health class; (2) Complete your volunteer hours; (3) Receive your dental care.
