Free Dentistry Day Coming To Rockville Oct. 13

ROCKVILLE, MD – Residents in and around Rockville will have the opportunity to receive free dental care at Innovative Dentistry of Rockville on Saturday, Oct. 13.

Drs. Rogan Schneider and Robert Caldwell, along with the Innovative Dentistry team, are working together on Free Dentistry Day, a day dedicated to providing free dental care to the growing number of Americans without dental insurance, to bring oral health to the community. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 108 million Americans are living without dental insurance.

“We understand that many people in our community and across the nation haven’t been to the dentist for a long period of time. Some don’t understand the importance of dental health, but more often than not, they don’t have the financial means,” Schneider said. “This event is a great opportunity for us to share our time and resources with those less fortunate and give back to the community.

There is increasing evidence that links oral health to overall health and well-being. The signs and symptoms of more than 100 medical conditions, including diabetes, HIV/AIDS, Lou Gehrig’s disease and oral cancer, may first be detected through traditional oral examinations.

“Dental health is a vital part of a person’s overall health,” Caldwell said. “Through this event, we hope to educate patients on the importance of dental health and encourage them to adopt an ongoing oral care regimen.”

During Free Dentistry Day, a choice of one free cleaning, filling or extraction will be provided per patient on Saturday, Oct. 13, between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. at 192 Halpine Road, Suite A in Rockville. Patients will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please call 301-770-1200 or visit www.FreeDentistryDay.org.
