Meridian Dental providing free dental exams for children Feb. 17

From The Courier-Times:

MUNCIE – Meridian Health Services is providing FREE dental exams for one-day only for children ages 1 to 14 on Monday, Feb. 17 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Meridian Dental locations throughout Indiana. This event, Give Kids a Smile®, is part of a nationwide initiative led by the American Dental Association to provide children in need with quality oral health care and education.

Oral health is a vital part of whole-person health. Untreated dental diseases can contribute to serious health problems, including heart disease and diabetes. Regular checkups and professional care are the keys to maintaining healthy teeth and gums.

The free dental exam will include polishing, cleaning, and fluoride application. Schedule an appointment in advance by calling 866-306-2647 and mention the Give Kids a Smile FREE dental exam. Walk-ins are welcome. However, space is limited and appointments are encouraged to avoid wait times.
