Local Dentists Providing Free Dental Care to Children in Need

Park Dental Ridgepark in Minnetonka is joining with dental professionals across the sate to provide free care to children whose families cannot afford to pay for the care. Ridgepark is located at 13911 Ridgedale Dr #395, in Minnetonka. Just down the frontage road from Best Buy near Ridgedale Mall. People interested in scheduling an appointment on February 1st, 2013 may call 952-545-8603 or United Way 211.


This is a statewide outreach effort, called Give Kids A Smile, put in place because dentists are committed to providing all children with dental care and helping eliminate barriers to care throughout Minnesota. The Minnesota Dental Association is sponsoring this exciting event for the 11th consecutive year and are expecting about 200 clinics to participate in 2013.


"This is a special way to reach kids in need of dental care. Healthy teeth are so important to overall health and are even a key to success in school," said Dr Kirsten Langguth DDS
