Dozens of low-income people in Charlottesville have a brighter reason to smile Saturday. They got free teeth cleanings and oral health exams thanks to dental hygienists across Charlottesville who volunteered their time Saturday.
Charlottesville Dental Health Partners and the Charlottesville Free Clinic teamed up Saturday to give back to the community with more than just a wash and a rinse.
Janis Goodman, a patient on Saturday said, "It feels like a million dollars to do what you know you need to do to keep your teeth."
Even though 70 patients were seen on Saturday, there are is still a huge backlog at the free clinic. The staff at the free clinic is always looking for volunteers and if you feel that you qualify you can click here to find more information.
