The Multnomah Dental Society will hold its annual Free Children's Health Fair on Saturday, 22, 2014, Reynolds Middle School from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

This important community outreach program will provide a variety of health and dental related services at no charge.

The School, located at 1200 NE 201st Avenue, Fairview, will be filled with booths providing the following services:

Dental, Vision, and Hearing screenings
Dental Treatment -(Mobile Dental Units on site)
Proper Dental Hygiene Instructions
Immunizations
Information on a variety of healthcare topics for the entire family
Oregon Health Plan & Healthy Kids Sign up & Resources
Lead Poison Screenings
Nutrition/Diabetes Information

Head Start Information
Many other community resources
Food will be provided

Each child attending will receive a "goodie bag" that includes a toothbrush and toothpaste and information on taking care of their teeth.

In addition, there will be entertainment and prize drawings, including the grand prize of a Xbox 360. Children do not need to be present at the time of the drawing to win.

The Fair is being held as part of the American Dental Association's nationwide program, Give Kids A Smile. The objective of Give Kids A Smile is to mobilize the nation's dentists during the month of February (National Children's Dental Health Month) to provide free oral health care services to thousands of low-income children.
