Free dental care for veterans and spouses on Saturday
Clinics will be held in Lexington, Richmond and Danville
UPDATE SATURDAY NOV. 6, 2021
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Saturday was Aspen Dental’s seventh annual Day of Service, where Aspen Dentals nationwide gave veterans free dental care for the day.
Aspen Dental says veterans have limited access to dental care so this Day of Service allows them to come get the treatment they need for free with no hoops to jump through.
“They’ve just given a lot for us and a lot for this country so I mean I think that’s important and it’s good to take a step back, take some time and give back to the community,” says Dr. Addison Young, a dentist at Lexington’s Aspen Dental branch.
Lexington’s location says it saw between 10-15 patients Saturday, and the dentists say it was a pleasure to help that community.
“I think just seeing the expression on their face, they’re just very grateful today,” says Madelynn Thomas, dental assistant. “Very grateful and thankful.”
