Throughout the month of February, multiple Fox Valley area dentists are offering free dental services for one day to people who do not have dental insurance and are struggling financially.

Open wide and smile! The Dentist with a Heart Program offers services ranging from exams, X-rays, cleanings, fillings and extractions unless otherwise noted. Offices participating are located from Aurora, Fox Valley, Tri-Cities, Elgin and Dundee.

Most offices take patients on a first-come, first-serve basis, but some offices are by appointment only. All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
