Biloxi Dentists Host Free Care Day for Local Families
Fifth Annual “Sharing Smiles Day” Brings Smiles to Families in Need
Biloxi, MS – Families in Biloxi and surrounding areas will be able to receive dental treatments at no cost on Sunday, May 19, 2019 during Sharing Smiles Day, an annual day of free dental care hosted by Sunnybrook Dentistry & Braces.
“At Sunnybrook Dentistry & Braces, we believe every family should have a dentist,” said Dr. David Moore, DMD. “While we’re proud to accept a wide range of insurance plans, including Medicaid and TRICARE, we also know there are adults and children in our community who do not have dental insurance and who can’t afford to pay out of pocket for needed dental treatments. Sharing Smiles Day is an opportunity for our dentists and staff to give back to families in our community and bring smiles to those in need.”
Dentists will provide free dental care to uninsured and underinsured adults and children from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sunday, May 19, at the following office location:
·Sunnybrook Dentistry & Braces- Biloxi, 2650 Beach Blvd., Biloxi MS, 29206. (228)-207-1454.
Available treatments will include dental exams, limited emergency care, extractions and restorative care which can be completed on the day of the event.
A limited number of appointments are available, and pre-registration is required for adults, and strongly encouraged for children. Individuals seeking treatment can register on the Sharing Smiles Day website in advance at www.SharingSmilesDay.com. We will try our best to see all patients, but treatment will be given on a first-come, first-served basis and pre-registration does not guarantee we will be able to treat you. Treatment offerings will be determined by the dentist.
“If left untreated, tooth decay can lead to pain, difficulty eating, sleeping or speaking, and more serious infections, some of which can be life-threatening,” continued Dr. Moore. “That’s why it’s important to see a dentist regularly for preventive care before tooth decay has a chance to do lasting damage.”
