Health Department joins ‘Give Kids A Smile Day’ on Feb. 6

Thu January 29, 2015

The DuPage County Health Department is joining the national "Give Kids A Smile Day" observance on Feb. 6 by offering free services to children, including dental screenings for children with special healthcare needs, in two locations.  

Free services will be offered from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Wheaton and Westmont to children ages one to 18 and no appointments are necessary. Call (630) 682-7400, ext. 7776, for information.

  • Free dental screenings will be offered inside the Smile Squad mobile facility parked in the parking lot of the Southeast Public Health Center, 422 N. Cass Ave., Westmont.
  • Free dental screenings and dental treatments will be offered in the Dental Clinic in the Central Public Health Center, 111 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton.

The Health Department is pleased to announce that this year, in collaboration with our "Ready, Set, Smile" program, we will also be offering dental screenings to children with special healthcare needs.

School dental forms will be given at both locations.

The Feb. 6 event is part of the national "Give Kids A Smile Day" sponsored by the American Dental Association (ADA). This activity began in 2003 as a way for dentists to join with others in the community to provide dental services to under-served children. Dentists and other team members volunteer to provide screenings, treatments and education to children throughout the United States.
