Free Dental Clinic Saturday
from a press release:
REP. PERONE URGES RESIDENTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE DENTAL CARE TOMORROW
Norwalk residents who lack dental insurance are being urged by State Representative Chris Perone (D-Norwalk) to attend a free one-day dental clinic in Middletown tomorrow, March 13th.
“This clinic is a once-a-year chance for people who lack insurance or who have inadequate coverage to get dental care for free,” said Representative Perone. “Almost everyone without dental coverage puts off getting treatment until it’s too late. This is an opportunity to receive quality care at no cost. I urge everyone to take advantage.”
CT MOM is a full-service clinic providing free dental care on a first-come, first-served basis for both children and adults. More than 1,400 volunteers—dentists, oral surgeons, hygienists, dental assistants, and others—will provide dental screenings, cleanings, fillings, x-rays, oral surgery, root canals, extractions, and replacement teeth.
Perone added, “I am grateful for all the volunteers and groups who are making tomorrow possible.”
The dental clinics will be held on Saturday, March 13th at the Aetna Building on Industrial Park Road in Middletown. The clinic will begin at 8:00 a.m.
Mission of Mercy a national program is operated in Connecticut by the Connecticut Foundation for Dental Outreach in collaboration with the Connecticut State Dental Association. This is the third year that they have held clinics in Connecticut.
