River Run Dental to Host Free Day of Dentistry
River Run Dental is excited to partner with Dentistry From The Heart to host a day of free dentistry for the Richmond community on Saturday, October 22nd 2016. The event will be held at River Run Dental’s office, located at 7820 Shrader Road, Richmond, VA 23294. Doctors and hygienists will be available to provide complimentary dental care from 8AM-4PM.
Event Details:
Patients will be treated on a first-come, first-serve basis and do not have to be established patients of River Run Dental in order to participate. Those interested in receiving treatment are encouraged to line up early as the event is expected to be well-attended. Dentists will begin treating patients promptly at 8AM.
People who attend can choose 1 procedure to be completed (Dental Cleaning, Tooth Extraction, or Filling).
We will not be offering pre-registration or appointments for this event (please refrain from calling our office for this purpose). Patients can simply show up the day of the event to register and get in line for treatment.
Patients do not have to provide proof of income, lack of insurance, etc. to be treated. Everyone 5 years and older is invited to attend!
Please note: patients will be waiting outside until it is their turn to be treated. Please dress appropriately and bring anything you need while you wait (folding chair, blanket, book, etc.).
