SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics (SBNC) is teaming up with Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise and its charitable foundation and Santa Barbara-Ventura County Dental Care Foundation to offer the community a FREE Dental Day at our Goleta Neighborhood Dental Clinic on Friday, April 20th. SBNC will have dentists, health professionals, and community volunteers from the Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Ventura County area that will donate their time and skills to provide basic dental treatments for FREE. Treatments may include exams, x-rays, cleanings, extractions, fillings, and fluoride varnish applications.
All are welcome, but children must be accompanied by a guardian if under the age of 18.
The event will be from 8:00am-5:00pm and patients will be treated on a first come, first served basis for a one treatment, free of charge. Registration for the event will take place at Goleta Valley Community Center located 5679 Hollister Avenue, Goleta. In order to prevent long lines and waiting, patients will be assigned an appointment time at registration. This event is going to be a day full of volunteers working together to serve those who do not have dental insurance or can’t afford the cost of a dental exam, but are in need of oral care at the Goleta Neighborhood Dental Clinic located at 164 Kinman Avenue, Goleta.
“Humans cannot have a healthy body without having good oral health; the two go hand in hand. Therefore, SBNC created this day together with our partner organizations to enable our Goleta dental clinic, local dentists and volunteers help the neediest people in our community. We want to have a fun day and reach everyone in our community who does not have the means to see a dentist due to lack of dental insurance or personal funds.” Dr. Domenic Caluori, Chief Dental Officer of the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics.
Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics would also like to thank the Rotary Club of Goleta Noontime for their generous donation to our dental clinics.
