LFCC Dental Hygiene Clinic partnering with dental office

Lord Fairfax Community College dental hygiene students and faculty are partnering with Valley Pediatric Dentistry to offer a variety of free dental services to children under 18 and those with special needs from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4.

Cleanings, X-rays, exams, fluoride treatment, sealants and emergency tooth extractions will be offered in the Dental Hygiene Clinic in the Alson Smith Building at LFCC’s Middletown Campus, 173 Skirmisher Lane.

This is the second year that Valley Pediatric Dentistry is participating in Give Kids a Smile, a program launched in 2003 by the American Dental Association. It has since provided free oral health services to 5.5 million children. It is the first year that the program is being held at LFCC.

Because there will only be 10 walk-in spots available, an appointment is required. To make an appointment, call 540-667-5437, or visit valleysmilesva.com, or send a request via Facebook.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
