Stay Well Health offers free dental care for kids in Waterbury
WATERBURY, Conn. (WTNH) — Local dentists and dental hygienists volunteered their time and skills Saturday morning for Stay Well Health's Give Kids a Smile Day in Waterbury.
Families gathered at the Stay Well Health Center on South Main Street for free dental care for children without dental insurance.
The event was part of a nationwide effort by the American Dental Association to ensure that kids can keep healthy smiles.
'We started about 18 years ago as a part of a national trend,' said President and CEO of Stay Well Health, Don Thompson. 'It stopped during covid and we decided to start it again this year and see how it goes.'
Cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments and fillings were all available to visiting families. They were able to see 54 children Saturday.
