“Mouthmobile” bringing free dental care to Frankfort veterans Friday

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Aspen Dental “Mouthmobile,” a fully-equipped dental office on wheels, is stopping in Frankfort of Friday to provide local veterans with free dental care.

The clinic is part of the “Healthy Mouth Movement,” a nation-wide campaign that enters communities and provides free dental care to those who could otherwise not afford it.  Dentists say some barriers that keep veterans from getting the oral health care they need are finances, availability, time, insurance or fear.

Two dentists and other staff hoped to see between 15 and 30 patients in the six hours the Mouthmobile was in front of the State Capitol.
