UAFS offers dental clinic

The dental hygiene program at the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith will sponsor free after-school dental clinics Feb. 12 and March 12 for area children through the UAFS Smilz Kid’s Clinic.

Preventive services offered by the clinic include a dental cleaning and exam, X-rays, fluoride treatments and sealants to prevent cavities. All dental hygiene services are provided by UAFS dental hygiene students under the supervision of UAFS dental hygiene faculty and staff.

The free clinics are made possible through a grant from the Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas.

Appointment times will be available at 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. both days at the Pendergraft Health Sciences Center on the UAFS campus, located at 715 N. Waldron Road.
