SUMMARY: Local dentists in Amry held a special event where they provided free dental work for one day to those without insurance. The event, held at HT and Family Dental Care, aimed to give back to the community after receiving support following last year's tornado. People came together to put smiles on faces and provide fillings, cleanings, and extractions at no cost. The clinic decided to offer this rare gift as a way to show appreciation for the community's support. This gesture was a blessing for those without dental insurance, who struggle to afford costly dental procedures. Volunteers and employees worked together to make the event a reality.
