Creston Dental & Braces Hosts Annual Sharing Smiles Day
Creston Dental & Braces is excited to participate in the 10th Annual Sharing Smiles Day, an event dedicated to providing free dental care to uninsured families. This special occasion will take place on a Sunday, from 9 AM to 1 PM ET.
Free Dental Care for Families
Families in need of dental examinations, emergency care, extractions, and limited cleanings can take advantage of the services offered by Creston Dental & Braces. Their dedicated team will volunteer their time to ensure children and their families receive the essential dental care they often cannot afford.
The Importance of Access to Dental Healthcare
The need for accessible dental care is critical, as many families go without due to financial constraints. Dr. Eduardo Garcia, District Dental Director, emphasized, "Too many families go without the dental care they need simply because they can’t afford it. We believe in creating a clear path to high-quality, affordable oral care for families. We’re here to help those families in need."
