ENOLA, Pa. (WHTM) — Monday is Veterans Day and, Saturday, some veterans in the Midstate received free dental care.
It was through an event called Time to Smile, held at the Specialty Center in Enola.
Peter Alfano says patients’ needs include exams, radiographs, cleanings, fillings, and more.
“We just love hearing the stories from these veterans and what they’ve gone through and what they’ve done for our country to protect our rights,” Alfano said. “Just the couple of patients we’ve seen so far today and hearing from them and how grateful they are for the care, we’re giving someone a new set of teeth that didn’t have some before he wanted for the holidays.”
