The event marks the fourth time the FDG has held a free clinic.

"We know it can be tough on families today to get basic dental care, said Dr. Emily Letran, owner of FDG, in a statement. "Some may have lost their insurance, and others simply can’t afford to pay out of their own pockets. That’s why we wanted to continue offering this program.
