The University of Maine at Augusta Dental Health Clinic plans to host its annual Give Kids a Smile Day in partnership with the American Dental Association.
The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, March 3, at the UMA Dental Hygiene Clinic on UMA’s Bangor campus at 201 Texas Ave.
The UMA Dental Hygiene Clinic operates according to the American Dental Association and Maine CDC-recommended safety requirements and precautions, according to a news release from Nancy Foster, UMA Communications.
Children ages 5-19, 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 programs will provide care with the aid of staff dentists, and faculty members from UMA’s Dental Health Programs and volunteer dentists from the community.
All patients, guests, students and staff are required to wear face coverings.
For more information about the event, required COVID-19 protocols, and to make an appointment, contact the clinic at 207-262-7872 or bangorhygschool@maine.edu.
