Dozens of people in the metro area received free dental care on Tuesday.
Our 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS camera got a look at the pop-up dental clinic at the Living Well Disability Services Office in Mendota Heights.
The three-day clinic is part of a partnership with Jet Dental and uses grant funding from the Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation.
Organizers say there are accommodations made for people who have different needs.
For example, someone didn’t want to get in the chair, so the dentist got on the floor. “The dentist got on the floor and did the appointment on the floor, and that just wouldn’t happen at a regular dental clinic,” said Jamee Young, Director of Development with Living Well Disability Services.
The clinics launched in 2024, and organizers say more than 200 people have benefited from dental care.
