More than 1,700 patients received dental services at this four-day event. More than 400 dental professionals and students volunteered their time, including dentists, oral surgeons, dental hygienists, and dental assistants.

It can be challenging accessing preventive and restorative dental care even if you have Apple Health coverage - Washington state's Medicaid program. Fortunately, there's DentistLink, a free referral service that also offers translation, transportation, childcare and other services to help... Washington residents get the oral healthcare they need. #teethmatter
