Dentists assist 100 people during day of free care

Robin was one of approximately 100 people who lined up in the cold early hours of Wednesday morning at Afinia Dental on Tylersville Road to receive free dental care. For the third year in a row, the six dentists at Afinia, which has offices in West Chester Twp. and Eastgate Village, offered free care to patients without insurance. Last year, the dentists said they gave away more than $35,000 in dentistry services.

The Middletown man has been unemployed for three years since Blackhawk Automotive shut down. He came to Afinia on Wednesday to seek help for an infected tooth, which dentists determined would have to be pulled.
