Free dental care day is hosted by Vermont Dentists
May 21 was a day for people who sometimes fall through the cracks. They make too much money to qualify for state or federal assistance but still face economic hardships and have no dental insurance. So many have to go without access to oral care.
Dentists in southern Vermont recognized this and wanted to help. More than 40 dentists participated in a free dental care day May 21, said to be the largest in the state’s history. Five dental and oral surgery practices in three counties hosted the event, where more than $250,000 in dental care was performed on some 340 patients.
