Dentistry From The Heart Event Serves More Patients Than Expected

Posted

Chehalis Dental Care performed nearly 25 more services than it expected on its free dental care day last Friday. Although Richard Downing, DDS expected his clinic to perform around 50 services for patients, Chehalis Dental Care performed 74 services and gave away $25,633 worth of treatment. 

Every year, Chehalis Dental Care offers free services for a day in conjunction with Dentistry from the Heart. The clinic offered patients the option of a filling, extraction or cleaning. If patients wanted more than one service, the clinic permitted them to get in line a second time. Registration began at 7 a.m. that day, but there were already 25 or 30 people in line by 5:45 that morning.
