Dentists Treat Serious Problems at Central Va. Free Clinic

Dentists Treat Serious Problems at Central Va. Free Clinic:

"The first wide-scale free dental clinic in Central Virginia drew hundreds to Orange County Saturday to get treatment for serious dental problems. Walk-ins were welcome, after organizers initially had to turn people away Friday."
Virginia is 95% fluoridated.

"Sixty-two dentists treating about 500 patients Saturday at the Barboursville Volunteer Fire Station in Orange County. Many of the patients needed teeth extractions and dentures.

'The dentist is too expensive to afford most of the time,' says Roland Bottomley."
