Thursday: FREE Dental Care for Veterans at Skokie Public Library

This just in...

Aspen Dental’s MouthMobile, a 42-foot-long dental office on wheels, will stop in Skokie on Thursday, October 5 to provide free care to local veterans as part of its 30-stop cross-country tour.

Dentists and their teams from area Aspen Dental practices are volunteering their services at the event. Aspen Dental is working with Got Your 6 nationally to identify interested veterans and schedule their appointments.

The MouthMobile is part of Aspen Dental’s Healthy Mouth Movement. Through the program, dentists and their teams from Aspen Dental practices have provided free care to 17,000+ veterans over the past four years.

WHAT: Free dental care to dozens of local vets
Details: Vets must schedule appointment in advanceContact Stefani Alexander at 202-263-2588.

WHEN: 9 am -3 pm Thursday, October 5

Where: Skokie Public Library
5215 Oakton Street, Skokie, IL 60077

WHY: Nearly 150 million Americans - just over half the adult population in the U.S. - didn’t go to the dentist last year, and millions more live in communities where there is little or no access to care. This is an especially challenging issue for many veterans who do not receive dental benefits through the Veterans Administration unless they are 100 percent disabled, have a service-related mouth injury or were a prisoner of war.
