Portland Area Dentists to Hold Free Clinic

PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER) -- On Friday November 6, hundreds of people in Greater Portland will be able to get either a cleaning, a filling, or an extraction at no charge.  Thirteen area dentist's offices will be holding the first ever "Dentists Who Care For ME" free clinic. 

"We're just so excited about it.", says Dr. Demi Kouzounas, the co-coordinator of the clinic.  She and Dr. Barry Saltz have been working the phones for months, trying to get as many of their colleagues as possible to volunteer their services that day.  Dozens of dentists, hygienists and support staff have signed on.

People who go to the clinic will receive one service of their choice on a first-come, first-served basis.  Below is a list of the locations and hours of the clinic, and a phone number to call for more information.
