An Oklahoma City-based dental practice will offer free dental care to unemployed residents during October, according to local ABC affiliate KOCO.
For the entire month, Royal Oak Family Dental will provide free dental exams, cleanings and X-rays for patients without a job. The effort is meant to provide relief for Oklahomans who have been financially affected by pandemic-related job losses.
"COVID's affected everybody, and even more financially for some," Deren Flesher, DDS, told KOCO. "So during the month of October, we want to give away some dentistry to people who have been affected."
