(217) 546-3333Free Dental Care – Annual Dentistry From The Heart
May 26, 2017
Dr VanderMolen stopped by the Newschannel 20 studios the other day to talk about some of the specifics regarding our upcoming Dentistry From The Heart. It will be held on June 2nd and this will be our 8th year hosting this event. We’re extremely excited and honored to be able to provide this service to the Springfield community.
While the doors will open at 8am, the line will most likely start to form the night before as we can only guarantee service for the first 100 patients. We will see as many patients as possible until 4pm and it is first-come-first-serve so you cannot call to schedule an appointment this day.
