Press Release from Osceola Dental Care
Area
residents will have the opportunity to receive free dentistry services ranging
from cleanings, extractions and fillings at Osceola Dental Care located at 103
Osceola Avenue in Osceola on Saturday, September 29th.
A number of Northwest
Indiana dentists/specialists and their teams will be improving
the oral health of needy citizens as part of Free Dentistry Day; a day
dedicated to providing dental care to the growing number of Americans without
dental insurance.
"Now more than ever, there
are people in our area who need dental services but have no means to afford
them – whether they're out of a job, or just don't have dental insurance," said
Dr. Jaime Baker of Osceola Dental Care. "This event is a great opportunity for
us to share our time and resources with those less fortunate and give back to
the community we serve."
"Our team is committed to
lifetime dental care because good oral health is integral to overall health,"
said Dr. Baker. "By participating in this program, our goal is to engage
patients and encourage them to adopt an ongoing oral care program and a
lifelong regimen of preventative care."
Free dental cleanings,
fillings and extractions will be given on Saturday, September 29th, between 7 a.m.
- 2 p.m. at 103 Osceola Avenue in Osceola. For more information, please call 574-674-8757
or visit www.freedentistryday.org. Appointments will be accepted on a first
come first served basis. Additional parking will be available at Valley
Sharpening at 102 Osceola Avenue, Randy Leliaert Insurance Agency Complex at
410 Lincolnway West and Fern Hunsberger Park on the corner of Rogers and
Lamport Street.
One third of Americans are
living without dental insurance and current economic conditions leave little
room to afford dental procedures. Without events like Free Dentistry Day,
dental care simply isn't an option for many uninsured people.
