Need dental care but can't afford it? Comfort Dental offices statewide will host their 27th FREE Care Day Friday, December 24, 2010. This means all Comfort Dental offices will provide FREE dental care to anyone on December 24th from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Check here for Comfort Dental locations around Colorado or call 1-877-330-7676 to find a location near you.
Keep in mind that patients are helped on a first-come, first-served and will receive a variety of basic dental care from cleanings to extractions. More serious dental problems are handled on a case-by-basis and at the discretion of the individual dentist. Last year on Care Day, Comfort Dental offices throughout the West saw 3,200 patients and gave away $600,000 in free dental services. This year, the need is likely to be bigger based on economic conditions "Due to the tough economy, we anticipate a record turn-out. In a typical year on Care Day, we average 2,000-3,000 patients, but last year was more than 3,000, and this year may be even bigger," says Dr. Neil Norton, Comfort Dental's vice president. "There are a lot of families out there who just can’t afford dental care, and this is their only dental visit all year.”
