On Nov. 10, Collins Dental Group P.C. provided veterans and their immediate families with free dental exams and cleanings, as well as certain dental procedures, such as extractions and fillings. The practice saw nearly 100 patients and provided more than $23,000 worth of dental work that day.

Veterans of all ages and their families came out to take advantage of this event, the first of its kind for Collins Dental Group. Most veterans are provided with medical care programs once they return to the U.S., but dental care is sometimes not an option for them financially.

Collins Dental Group saw a need for dental care assistance in the local veteran community, and wanted to give back.
