In 1987, Dr. Schmidt, of Iowa founded Doctors with a Heart Day, Inc., to help people in need receive quality dental care. Today, Doctors with a Heart has become the largest doctor charity in the world.

Life happens and sometimes we can't help but face the challenge of being uninsured, not qualifying for public assistance or just being unable to afford basic dental care. If you're in this situation and desperately need dental attention, help may be available.

On Saturday, September 19th, from 8am-12pm, all Progressive Dental locations in Endwell, Montrose, Norwich and Kirkwood will offer free cleanings, evaluations, fillings and extractions at no cost. There are no income requirements, but services are offered on a first come, first serve basis which means you should plan on arriving extra early.
