From TOLEDO DENTAL SOCIETY
Members of the Toledo Dental Society will provide free dental care for children of families who otherwise could not afford it. This is the eighteenth year that Northwest Ohio dental professionals are volunteering their time for a program called “Give Kids a Smile.”
Dentists and hygienists will provide free dental care, including simple teeth cleanings, fillings and tooth extractions for children up to age 18.
