Dear Manual Families,

We wanted to share a community resource that may be helpful for your family.

A Free Dental Day will be held on Saturday, September 12, from 8:00am to 12:00pm at Willow Knolls Family Dental, 7310 N. Villa Lake, Peoria, IL 61614.

Phone is 309-693-7227, if more info is needed.

Dental services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. According to the information shared, free dental cleanings and free tooth extractions will be available.

Access to dental care can be challenging for many families, and this event is intended to help community members receive important oral health services at no cost. If your child or family member is in need of dental care, this may be a valuable opportunity.

Please see the attached flyer for additional details, including the event location and any requirements for participation.

We encourage interested families to arrive early, as services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
