November 20th, 2011
On November 21 and 22, the Oregon Dental Association will provide free dental care, including cleanings, fillings, extractions, and limited treatment partials. The event will take place at the Oregon Convention Center, and patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis.
Who can receive care: Adults and children who are uninsured, underinsured, or otherwise unable to visit a dental office and do not have a medically-compromising condition that prohibits receiving care. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Interpreters will be available to assist Spanish, Russian, and Vietnamese speaking patients.
Where: Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE MLK Jr Blvd in Portland.
Time: Doors open 4:00 am each day. Patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis with a maximum of 1,000 patients seen each day. The day’s patient quota is typically reached by 10:00 am, so go early!
