Home ›"Have a Heart" Day celebrates 26th year of providing free dental care
A total of nearly 60 patients received the benefit of free dental care as the annual "Have a Heart" Day hosted by area dental care providers took place Saturday, February 13 for the 26th consecutive year. The event provided an opportunity for children four to 18 years of age, who have not recently seen a dentist for whatever reason, to receive necessary dental care at no charge.
The doctors and staff at Waukon Dental, Family Dentistry Associates of Monona and Dental Associates of Prairie du Chien, P.C. provided a variety of dental services throughout the busy Saturday, including examinations, extractions, fillings, sealants and dental hygiene cleanings, all at no cost to the patient. The extent of services provided to patients this year totaled more than $20,000 in free dental care.
The dental offices provided a festive environment with a Valentine's theme, in addition to healthy refreshments following treatments. The participating doctors and dental staff members enjoy the opportunity to offer this day as a thank you to area communities for continued support, and look forward to providing the same service during next year’s "Have a Heart" Day.
