Timothy Road Dental Care to host free Dentistry Day

Residents in the Athens community and surrounding areas will have the opportunity to receive free dental services at Timothy Road Dental Care on Saturday, September 7.

Dr. Wendi Clanton, Dr. Yang Eun Kim and the dedicated team at Timothy Road Dental Care are proud to participate in Free Dentistry Day. This national initiative provides much-needed dental services to the growing number of Americans without dental insurance.

“We know many people in our community, and across the country, haven't seen a dentist in a long time,” says Dr. Clanton. “Some may not understand how crucial oral health is, but often, the financial barrier prevents them from getting the care they need.”

Dental exams can detect serious health concerns like diabetes, oral cancer, and even heart disease. Studies also show inadequate dental care increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, some cancers, and respiratory infections. Regular dental checkups allow dentists to identify these conditions early and potentially prevent them from becoming more serious.

“Oral health is a cornerstone of overall well-being,” emphasizes Dr. Kim. “Through Free Dentistry Day, we aim to educate patients about the importance of oral health and empower them to establish a regular dental care routine.”

Free Dentistry Day at Timothy Road Dental Care will offer cleanings, fillings, extractions on Saturday, September 7th at 2065 Timothy Road in Athens. No insurance is required, this event is first come first served. No appointments needed. For more information, visit https://www.timothyroaddentalcare.com/or visit https://FreeDentistryDay.org.

“Free Dentistry Day is one of the highlights of our year,” says Dr. Clanton. “Witnessing the positive impact on people's physical and mental health is truly rewarding. We improve their lives, and in turn, they enrich ours. It's a day that brings smiles to everyone's faces.”
