Pre-screening necessary for Dental Days participants

Local dentists are currently performing pre-screenings for the Panhandle Health District Dental Day, scheduled at area schools May 31 and June 1.

All children who plan to attend the Dental Days must be pre-screened.

Sandy Goble, of Summit Dental in Sidney, says that there is a waiting list, but interested parties should go ahead and call to be added at Summit Dental or any local dentist’s office.

Goble said that the Dental Days event is for children who don’t have dental insurance and might otherwise not be able to have dental check-ups.

Dr. Michael P. Neal and the staff of Summit Dental also participate in the annual Nebraska Mission of Mercy that is held each August at varying locations each year. For the Mission of Mercy, patients of all-ages are accepted, no pre-screenings are required and services are done on a “first-come first-served” basis. More information will be released closer to the event dates.
