Comfort Dental Offers Free Dental Work on Annual Care Day

Comfort Dental will host their 32nd annual Care Day on Christmas Eve (Thursday, December 24, 2015), with free dental care to those in need. All Comfort Dental general dentistry offices throughout 13 states are participating including offices in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and Washington. Offices will be open on December 24th from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

How it Works

On Care Day, all services are free to anyone. Patients are helped on a first-come, first-served basis receiving a variety of basic dental care from cleanings to extractions. More serious dental problems are handled on a case-by-base basis and at the discretion of the individual dentist.
