FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — A Forest Hills dental clinic is offering free dental care to kids for the month of March.

Plaza College's dental hygienist students will do free teeth cleanings, examinations and X-rays for children under 18 through March 31. The students will consult with dentists about care for each patient.

"The more regularly we can provide care, the sooner that potential problems can be identified and addressed,” said Laura Sleeper, director of Plaza College's Dental Hygiene Program.
