Comfort Dental continues its holiday tradition for the 35th year. 

Dental care is so important for young and old alike, but unfortunately, it's also something that many can't afford. Unless you are lucky enough to have dental insurance, and even with it sometimes, taking care of our teeth often gets put behind so many of life's other expenses. 

For 35 years, Comfort Dental has tried to help people access dental care for the affordable price tag of FREE!

Comfort Dental President and Founder, Dr. Rick Kushner says, “We provide free dental care to help people. If someone has a bad tooth, hopefully, we can make them feel better," Comfort Dental President and Founder Dr. Rick Kushner says, "For some people, including kids, Care Day might be the only time they see a dentist all year. We’re dentists, so we give away dental services for the holidays.”

Care Day started in Colorado in 1984 and has continued offering Christmas-time services for those in need. According to the company, on Care Day, all services are free to anyone (insurance not required). Patients are helped on a first-come, first-served basis receiving a variety of basic dental care from cleanings to extractions. If you have a more serious dental issue, it will be handled on a case-by-case basis and at the discretion of the individual dentist.

It's been a popular event nationwide, with around 300 Comfort Dental dentists and 1,300 staff members donating their time every year. Comfort Dental says that more than 4,000 patients sought its help last year alone with a total of $1.4 million in services provided for free. 

You can access services at locations in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. For more information, contact your local Comfort Dental office.
