Free Dental Care to
Those in Need
On Saturday morning, February
14, 1998, from 7 a m. to noon, the
doctors and staff of Gentle Dental
will offer free dental care to people
in need, with special priority given
to women, children and the elderly.
Those with urgent dental needs,
who have no dental insurance, no
job, no money, and no means of
welfare health care, are invited to
visit Gentle Dental, 1558 Collins
Rd. N.E.. next to Hall Home Fur
nishings.
Any dental service that can be
performed in one visit will be of
fered, which includes: cleanings,
fillings, extractions, fluoride treat
ments, x-rays, steel crowns, and the
like.
No appointment necessary —
people will be seen on a first come,
first serve basis.
Fourteen years ago, Dr. Duane
Schmidt, owner of Gentle Dental,
