What's to smile about? 'Dentist With A Heart' program returns

What's to smile about in February? The Dentist with a Heart program is back again this year. Numerous local dentists are offering free dental services to people who do not have dental insurance and are struggling financially.

Exams, X-rays, cleanings, fillings and extractions (unless noted otherwise) will be offered through the Dentist with a Heart program. Offices participating in the Elgin area this year are located in Elgin, Bartlett, Algonquin and West Dundee.

You must have an appointment from these participating offices. All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
