During hard economic times, many people have gone without such benefits as health and dental insurance, making it difficult to receive the proper care they need. On Saturday, the Aspen Dental office on Dawsonville Highway in Gainesville opened its doors for patients to receive free dental care and oral health education as part of its first-ever “Day of Service.” Along with Oral Health America, Saturday’s service day was the official kickoff for the “Healthy Mouth Movement.”
