Dental professionals volunteer to provide these services during Children’s Dental Health Month. This year, free dental care will be available on Feb. 2 and 3 in many locations throughout the state. Find a participating clinic by visiting www.mndental.org/gkas or by contacting the United Way – just dial 2-1-1 or text your zip code to 898-211.
