Children can get free dental services, thanks to a local dentist.
Alexis Klassen & Associates DDS LLC will hold its first ever Back to School Dental Wellness Day, a community event aimed at providing free dental services to school-aged children in Wood County.
The event will take place on Aug. 14 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at Dr. Alexis Klassen’s office located at 1218 Ridgewood Drive.
Limited spots are available for this event, which offers complimentary dental cleanings, professional exams, fluoride applications, X-rays and sealants to children between the ages of 3 and 18.
Klassen is committed to giving back to the Bowling Green and surrounding communities. As a mother of two boys, she understands the financial strain many families face during the back-to-school season, with rising costs of clothing, food and school materials.
In addition to the dental services provided, parents are encouraged to bring their school forms to the event if they require a dentist’s signature. The event will also feature an educational table with pre-dental student volunteers from Bowling Green State University, offering oral health information and resources to attendees.
“We are excited to host the Back To School Dental Wellness Day and support the oral health needs of Wood County school children,” Klassen said. “We understand the financial challenges faced by many families during this time, and we want to ensure that children have access to quality dental care, regardless of their insurance coverage. It is our way of giving back to the community we hold dear.”
Parents are encouraged to schedule an appointment for their child by calling 419-352-2371. The event is open to all school-aged children in Bowling Green and surrounding communities, and is not limited to patients of Klassen’s practice. Dental insurance coverage is not required as this event is entirely free of charge.
