If you or someone you know has kids in need of free dental care, mark your calendar for February 5th and 6th, 2016 for this year’s Give Kids a Smile event. This charitable event grants up to 5,000 children free dental care at over 150 dental offices and clinics across the state.

Patients need to be 18 years or younger and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. To make an appointment, check out the list of participating clinics, then call the clinic to make an appointment (note that hours vary by location). You can also make an appointment by calling United Way at 2.1.1 (or 1.800.543.7709) to get assistance in Hmong, Somali and Spanish.

Good news for those of you not in the Twin Cities: there are participating clinics throughout the state – Rochester, Duluth, St. Cloud, Mankato, Moorhead, and lots more!
