“Give Kids A Smile” Offers Free Dental Care for Underserved Children |
Kid Stuff |
Event Description: |
To raise awareness about the epidemic of untreated dental disease and increase access to oral health care, Give Kids A Smile is hosting a free dental clinic for those in need on Friday, Feb. 8 and Saturday, Feb. 9, 2019 at Saint Louis University’s Center for Advanced Dental Education. Care is provided by appointment only.
The two-day free dental clinic is designed to meet the dental health needs of newborns through school-aged children up to 14 years old (8th grade), who are Medicaid-eligible, qualify for the free school lunch program or need dental assistance due to other special circumstances.
Registered children will receive X-rays, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments and sealants, as well as fillings, root canals and oral surgery, if needed. All care is provided in a non-intimidating, fun-filled environment that includes an entertainment area featuring music, interactive games, face painters and balloon artists. Each child goes home with a free healthy lunch and smile bag that includes a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and more.
