Texan dentists offering treatment free of charge

Sample News Big

Dentists in McCamey, West Texas, are giving up their time this weekend to help people in the local area.

A number of dentists are offering their services as part of a programme called Smiles on Wheels; the event will take place this Saturday at Upton County Park Building. Dentists will be joined by dental assistants and hygienists.

During the day, a range of treatments will be available, including fillings, extractions, cleaning treatments and preventative treatments.

Organisers are expecting a huge turnout and appointments will be allocated on a first come, first served basis so they are urging patients to arrive early to avoid disappointment; the clinic will open its doors at 6am. There are no age restrictions and people of all backgrounds and incomes will be treated.

In recent months, the demand for free dental treatment has increased rapidly and organisers of events such as the one in McCamey this weekend are struggling to cope with long lines of people turning up for free dental care. Many patients are queuing out in the cold overnight because they are so desperate for treatment and have no other way of getting it without the help of free dental events and charity clinics.
