Dentist With a Heart program offers free dental care in February

Aurora Children's Dental Services has organized the 17th annual "Dentist With a Heart" with dates throughout February.

Forty-two area dentists from throughout the Fox Valley will open their doors to the needy, offering free services during specific times. Over the last 16 years, the free services provided to the people of the Fox Valley have totaled over $1 million.

The services are free. For additional information, visit www.dentistwithaheartonline.org.

No appointments are needed unless noted specifically below, and calls at the other dentist offices will not be taken. Simply arrive at the location selected prior to 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 older than age 3 and an adult must accompany anyone younger than age 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.
