Burlington County to hold free dental clinics

The Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders announced that the Burlington County Women Infant and Children’s Program (WIC) is partnering with Smile New Jersey to hold three separate free walk-in dental clinics on Friday, July 26, Friday August 23, and also Friday, September 27.

All clinics will be held at the Burlington County Health Department from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. These clinics are open to WIC clients and Burlington County residents aged 1–18 years old.

“From birth to adulthood, the oral health care we receive and how we take care of our own mouths at home plays an important role in our overall well-being,” stated Freeholder Director Joe Donnelly.

New Jersey licensed dentists will provide preventive dental services including exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, as well as x-rays and sealants where applicable.

Children without dental insurance will receive a screening, dental cleaning and fluoride treatment with the signed returned of Smile New Jersey charity care application. Medicaid covers 100% of treatment when available; most insurance are accepted; insurance co-pays and deductibles may be covered by charity care.

For more information please call 609–267–7004.
