Last year’s event was a big success, with around 120 people signing up for free dental services. Among those, 26 patients had over 80 teeth extracted.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four U.S. adults between the ages of 20 and 64 has at least one untreated cavity, and more than 40% suffer from gum disease.
This event provides a valuable opportunity for people to take care of dental issues that might otherwise go untreated.
