The University of Maine at Augusta Dental Health Clinic is set to host its annual Give Kids a Smile Day in partnership with the American Dental Association over a two-day period this year.
The Give Kids a Smile Day is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11, and Tuesday, March 4, at the UMA Dental Hygiene Clinic, located on the UMA’s Bangor campus at 201 Texas Ave. in Bangor.
The two-day event helps to ensure that the same number of children will be served while maintaining all necessary COVID-19 protocols, according to a news release from the university.
The clinic operates according to the American Dental Association and Maine CDC recommended safety requirements and precautions.
Children ages 5-18, who do not have a dentist, can schedule free dental appointments to get cleanings, exams, x-rays, fluoride treatments and dental hygiene education. Students from UMA’s dental hygiene and dental assisting programs will provide care with the aid of staff dentists and faculty members from UMA’s dental health programs.
All patients, guests, students and staff are required to wear face coverings.
For more information and to schedule an appointment, contact the UMA Dental Health Clinic at 207-262-7872 or bangorhygschool@maine.edu.
