Beginning in Colorado in 1984, Comfort Dental has offered free dental care on Christmas Eve Day. Care Day was started 31 years ago as a way of improving accessibility to dental care.
On Care Day, all services are free to anyone. Patients are helped on a first-come, first-served basis receiving a variety of basic dental care from cleanings to extractions. More serious dental problems are handled on a case-by-base basis and at the discretion of the individual dentist.
Nationally, approximately 300 Comfort Dental dentists and 1,300 staff members donate their time on Care Day.
Last year on Care Day, Comfort Dental offices saw 4,700 patients nationally, and gave away $1.2 million in free dental services. Since Care Day's beginnings in 1984, Comfort Dental has given away over $20 million in dental services.
"We provide free dental care to help people. If someone has a bad tooth, hopefully we can make them feel better," Comfort Dental president and founder Dr. Rick Kushner said. "For some people, including kids, Care Day might be the only time they see a dentist all year. We're dentists, so we give away dental services for the holidays."
