Main Street Dental Clinics of Blooming Prairie, Owatonna, New Richland, Mankato and Rochester will provide free dental care to less fortunate children on Feb. 4 at its New Richland and Blooming Prairie locations.
Those interested in scheduling an appointment may call the New Richland office at 507-463-0502 or the Blooming Prairie office at 507-583-2141 starting Monday and ask to schedule for “Give Kids a Smile.”
Main Street Dental Clinics are joining dental volunteers in other communities that are committed to providing access to quality dental care for all children. Give Kids a Smile is coordinated by the Minnesota Dental Association and has provided free dental care to more than 3 million children.
According to a press release, this is just one example of how deeply committed dentists and their staff are to giving every child the care they deserve.
Patients seeking appointments should be under the age of 18 and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Interpreters are not provided for this day. The family is in charge of finding one on their own that is over the age of 18.
Information needed when scheduling an appointment includes the patient’s name, Social Security number, date of birth, address, contact number and parent/guardian’s name.
