Minnesota dental professionals are concerned about the growing number of children who don’t have access to dental care. That’s why dental professionals including dentists and staff will come together on Friday February 1, 2008, to provide free dental care to kids in need.

Services offered in Hastings will vary from preventive care, which includes cleanings, sealants and fluoride treatment, to restorative care, which includes fillings. Information on specific services will be outlined when an appointment is scheduled.
Typically, the age range is 3 to 18. But, since it may vary, it’s important that parents ask this question when making an appointment for their child.

All patients must have appointments in advance and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. After Jan. 1, 2008, parents may call United Way 211 (just dial 2-1-1) or 651-291-0211. Operators will have a list of participating dental offices and will be able to direct people to a location in their area.
