As part of her 2014 initiative for a healthier Burlington County, Freeholder Director Leah Arter announced today that the Burlington County Women Infant and Children’s Program (WIC) is partnering with Smile New Jersey to hold three separate free walk-in dental clinics on Friday, Jan. 24, Friday Feb. 28, and Friday, March 28.
“This is just one of the many ways that we at the County can help to ensure that all of our residents have the access they need to live a healthier life,” Arter said.
All clinics will be held at the Burlington County Health Department from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. These clinics are open to WIC clients and Burlington County residents aged 1–18.
New Jersey Licensed dentists will provide preventive dental services including exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, as well as x-rays and sealants where applicable.
Children without dental insurance will receive a screening, dental cleaning and fluoride treatment with the signed returned of Smile New Jersey charity care application. Medicaid covers 100 percent of treatment when available; most insurance are accepted; insurance co-pays and deductibles may be covered by charity care.
For more information please call (609) 267–7004.
