Smiles at Lakewood Ranch to Host Free Dentistry Day December 11

Health + Wellness

Residents in the Lakewood Ranch community and surrounding areas will have the opportunity to receive free dental services at Smiles at Lakewood Ranch on Saturday, December 11. Dr. Ana Monzin, Dr. Jacob Berger and team at Smiles at Lakewood Ranch will be improving the oral health of the community as part of Free Dentistry Day, a day dedicated to providing free dental care to the growing number of Americans without dental insurance. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 108 million Americans are living without dental insurance.

“We understand that many people in our community and across the nation haven’t been to the dentist for a long period of time. Some don’t understand the importance of dental health, but more often than not, they don’t have the financial means,” said Dr. Monzin. “This event is a great opportunity for us to share our time and resources with those less fortunate and give back to the community. 

 During Free Dentistry Day, cleanings, fillings and extractions will be provided to patients on Saturday, December 11, between 8 am-12 pm at 14606 E State Rd. 70 in Lakewood Ranch. Call the office in advance to schedule your appointment at 941-216-3803 or visit FreeDentistryDay.org.
