something to smile about: free dental care
Dr. Vincent Monticciolo figures he and his crew have saved about 4,000 smiles for free over the past eight years, and next month they plan to fix as many as 600 more. Monticciolo and his staff will provide free dental care from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Feb. 6 to anyone who needs it, as part of the annual Dentistry from the Heart event. "The services provided by Dentistry from the Heart help more than just a patient's teeth," Monticciolo said. "It gives them a renewed reason to smile." The services will be available first-come, first-served at Monticciolo General and Sedation Dentistry, 4350 Grand Blvd. Patients who need ongoing care will then be referred to local community clinics.
