According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 25 percent of children under age five have cavities and many kids enrolled in Medicaid receive no dental services throughout the year. On March 4, LECOM Bradenton’s School of Dental Medicine will host Give Kids a Smile to provide free dental services to qualifying individuals and to raise awareness of the consequences of untreated dental disease. Now in its third year at LECOM, the free services will include dental screenings and cleanings, X-rays and sealants, if needed, minor restorations (fillings) and simple extractions for children ages 2 to 18 accompanied by a parent or guardian. Walk-ins will be treated on a first-come-first-served basis.
