The Augusta Regional Dental Clinic will hold a free clinic for insured adults living in Staunton, Waynesboro or Augusta County on March 7-8.
The Dentalplooza clinic days will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and offer consultations, cleaning, fillings and surgical extractions at no charge.
“At the ARDC, we are committed to breaking down barriers to dental care,” said Sophie Parson, executive director. “Oral health is essential to overall well-being, and through this event, we aim to provide relief and support to those who may not otherwise have access to treatment.”
Parson believes this year’s event will be the biggest to date thanks to a large response from local dentists and hygienists. She expects the clinic to see up to 120 patients.
The ARDC welcomed 85 patients during Dentalplaooza last year and provided nearly $20,000 worth of dental services free of charge.
“Unfortunately with affordable dental care options being limited in our community, our patients eagerly wait for Dentalpalooza every year,” she said. “We are grateful to our sponsors and volunteers who increase our treatment capacity and allow us to offer additional services like oral surgery.”
Sponsors include the Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, the Central Blue Ridge Community Foundation, Augusta Health, NIBCO, DuPont Community Credit Union, Westhills Realtors and Dr. and Mrs. Mansfield.
