Make a New Year’s resolution to visit the dentist—and start with a free dental cleaning, x-rays and exam on Prophy Day at Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine’s clinic (2124 Cornell Road) on Saturday, Jan. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon.
Patient treatment is first come, first served (no appointments are scheduled in advance) for adults 18 and older. Prophy Day is an annual service event sponsored by CWRU School of Dental Medicine’s Student Council.
Anthony Adams, a fourth-year dental student and Student Council president, encourages college students, who may be away from their home dentists, to take advantage of the free dental care and checkup.
Adams said the event also gives members of the community who don’t see a dentist regularly an opportunity to meet faculty and students at the dental clinic. Participants will receive a coupon for half off the admitting fee to become a future patient at the school.
While waiting for check-ups, all patients will be entertained with recently released DVDs on a big screen. “It’ll be cinema-esque,” said Adams.
