There were several people lined up for the free event that was as long as a city block according to Dr. Sina Sanei of Kawartha Dental.
“The first patient that I saw this morning, they started lining up at 1 a.m. in the morning,” he explained. “The lineup went around the building.”
The free dental work that was included were cleanings, fillings and extractions.
There were 45 staff members who volunteered their time to help out during the event. Sanei says there was a positive atmosphere throughout the day with some doctors working past 3 p.m. to fit all the patients in.
“Everyone was very appreciative of the work,” he said. “You don’t really feel tired. It’s a very fun and relaxing day. Every person you come across is in such a good mood.”
Kawartha Dental Clinic last held its Free Dental Day in 2017 and 2015. They were slated to do it in 2020 but were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sanei says this event will be run again in the coming years.
