Have a child between the ages of 6 to 12 that needs dental care? You might be in luck. On July 27, between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Dan Hartwig and his team at Family Dentistry of Arnold will be giving free dental services ranging from cleanings, simple extractions, and fillings as part of Give Kids a Smile®, a program started in 2003 by the American Dental Association meant to provide care and raise awareness of the importance of access to dental care for kids.
“This is a great opportunity for us to share our time and resources with those less fortunate and give back to the community we serve,” said Dr. Hartwig in a press release. “By participating in this program, our goal is to engage patients and encourage them to adopt an ongoing oral care program and a lifelong regimen of preventative care.”
Tooth decay is caused by bacterial infection that can spread if untreated. Dental disease has been linked to cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and strokes.
For more information or to schedule an appointment for your child, call 636-464-1008. Appointments will be accepted by a first-call basis for children ages 6 through 12.
