Fox Valley area dentists to offer free services to needy
Aurora Children’s Dental Services has organized the 10th annual Dentist With a Heart scheduled for Feb. 3-16. Thirty-four area dentists from throughout the Fox Valley will offer free services to the needy during specific times.
Over the last nine years, this program has provided services totaling $1,033.786.
No appointments are needed, and calls at the dentist offices will not be taken. Simply arrive at the location selected before the starting time listed for that office. Patients will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to arrive early to ensure your chances of receiving treatment that day. Services are limited to patients over the age of 3 years and an adult must accompany anyone under 18. No proof of income or need is required.
Free services for the day (unless noted below) include: cleanings, X-ray, diagnostic services, fillings and extractions. Dentists will not be able to provide more involved services such as crowns, bridges, root canals and dentures due to time constraints. For additional information, visit dentistwithaheartonline.org or English-speaking callers, contact Sue Rahn at (630) 892-4260 and Spanish-speaking clients can contact Dee Rodriguez at (630) 906-9530.
