Vets in Need Can Receive Free Dental Health on May 13

CONCORD, NH - The Aspen Dental MouthMobile, a fully-equipped dental office on wheels, is stopping in Concord to provide local veterans with free dental care to address their most urgent dental needs as part of the Healthy Mouth Movement, according to a press statement.

The MouthMobile will be at the Statehouse from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Any veteran that needs assistance must register through Liberty House, a veterans resource center, online.

"Many people throughout the country and right here in Concord, struggle to access oral healthcare when needed, due to barriers like finances, availability, time, or fears," according to spokesperson Shawn Ghuman. "Those barriers kept more than 150 million Americans from visiting a dentist last year."

To help address these barriers, Aspen Dental and Oral Health America launched the Healthy Mouth Movement nearly two years ago.

The community giving initiative delivers free dental care and oral health education directly to those who need it most, with a focus on serving veterans in 2016, Ghuman noted. In the past two years, over 4,000 Aspen Dental team members volunteered their time and talents to deliver $3.8 million in free dental care to nearly 7,000 patients in need. This year, the org is focusing exclusively on veterans.
