Free Dental Services to be Provided April 7th

St. Peters, MO -- Adults 18 and older in the St. Peters community will have the opportunity to receive free dentistry services ranging from cleanings, extractions and fillings at Heritage Dental Group located at 4045 North St. Peters Parkway, Suite 200 on Saturday, April 7th.

Dr. Mary Smith and Dr. Timothy Larson of Heritage Dental Group, with the help of several other area dentists, will be improving the oral health of needy citizens as part of Helping Hands Free Dentistry Day; a day dedicated providing dental care to the growing number of Americans without dental insurance.

"Now more than ever, there are people in St. Peters who need dental services but have no means to afford them -- whether they're out of a job, or just don't have dental insurance," said Dr. Smith. "This event is a great opportunity for us to share our time and resources with those less fortunate and give back to the community we serve."

"Our team is committed to lifetime dental care because good oral health is integral to overall health," said Dr. Larson. "By participating in this program, our goal is to engage patients and encourage them to adopt an ongoing oral care program and a lifelong regimen of preventative care."

Free cleanings, extractions and fillings will be given to adults 18 and older on Saturday, April 7th, between 7:30 am and 5:00 pm at 4045 North St. Peters Parkway, Suite 200 in St. Peters. For more information, please call 636-441-3466. No appointments will be taken; patients will be accepted on a first come first served basis.

One third of Americans are living without dental insurance and current economic conditions leave little room to afford dental procedures. Without events like Helping Hands, dental care simply isn't an option for many uninsured people.
