From 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 10th, Sleep Dentistry of Portland will host their 6th annual Dentistry from the Heart event, where they will provide free services to as many patients as possible in Oregon and SW Washington. Sleep Dentistry of Portland is the only practice in the Portland Metro area that provides this service. They are always looking for dentists and assistants to volunteer during this annual event.
Each patient participating in the event will receive one cleaning, filling or extraction on a first come first serve basis; services will be conducted at their office on 19265 SE Stark Street in Portland.
An estimated 100 million Americans are currently without dental insurance and for most of that population dental care is not an option. With 413 patients and over $116,000 of free dental care provided over the last five years of hosting the event, Sleep Dentistry of Portland is hoping to make their 6th annual Dentistry from the Heart event the most successful one yet.
