Free clinic in Brighton says a mouthful about economy - The Denver Post

Free clinic in Brighton says a mouthful about economy - The Denver Post: "BRIGHTON — Despite missing, throbbing or rotting teeth, hundreds of Coloradans were all smiles Friday as they received dental care at a free clinic that also is open today." Colorado is 74% fluoridated. "By 6:15 a.m., at patient No. 808, the line was closed because organizers did not believe they could fit any more patients in the day's schedule."

"Dentist Pasco Scarpella of Brighton examined two people who had tried to pull their own teeth."
