Free Dental Services for Low-Income Children

Each year on the first Friday in February, thousands of the nation's dentists and their dental team members provide free oral health care services to children from low-income families across the country.

 

The American Dental Association’s “Give Kids A Smile” program enhances the oral health of large numbers of needy children. Give Kids A Smile activities also highlight for policy makers the ongoing challenges that low-income families face in finding dental care.

 

In Otsego County, Northern Catskill Dental Associates of Cooperstown will be participating in the national event on Friday, February 5th. Children ages 2 -12 that are not covered by dental insurance or Medicaid can be seen by a dentist for free. To schedule an appointment, call Northern Catskill Dental Associates at 547.2313. Appointments are available between 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM on a first-come, first-served basis.
