Concerned about the growing number of children who are unable to access needed dental care, Lake Superior Community Dental Clinic and area dentists will provide free dental care to less fortunate children on Friday, February 1 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. With the help of professional and student dental hygienists, LSC’s clinic will provide dental cleaning, fluoride, x-rays and restorative dental care as needed.

This program is part of a larger campaign being organized nationwide by the American Dental Association. “Dentists, hygienists, and assistants are coming together to offer this day of free care to make a healthy difference in the lives of children, while raising awareness of the growing number of families who don’t have access to dental care,”? said Cindy Upton, dental clinic coordinator. “We know we can’t treat all of the patients needing care in a single day, but we want to raise awareness of the problem and help as much as we can.”?

For more information or an appointment, contact Clinic Coordinator Cindy Upton at (218) 733-5939 or c.upton@lsc.edu.
