The Give Vets a Smile event is set for Saturday, Nov. 14 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the clinic at the CVTC Health Education Center, 615 W. Clairemont Ave. in Eau Claire. Any veteran without other dental benefits who has a current military ID or is enrolled in VA Health Care is eligible to participate.
“It’s our way of saying ‘Thank you for serving our country,’ ” said Pam Entorf, CVTC Dental Hygienist program instructor and outreach coordinator of the clinic. “We are hoping this can become an annual event much like Give Kids a Smile Day is. Veterans do not receive any dental benefits unless they are 100% percent disabled or suffered an oral injury related to their service.”
Dental Hygiene services available include a medical history review, BP screening, oral assessment, patient education, dental cleaning, x-rays, dental exam and fluoride treatment.
Dental services available include fillings, extractions, limited root-canal therapy, and limited denture services.
All work will be performed by dental hygiene students, dental assistant students, staff and licensed dental hygienists, licensed dentists and volunteers. The services are free of charge to veterans. The clinic may not be able to take care of all of a patient’s dental needs during the visit, but will take care of the most urgent needs first.
