Free Dental Clinic Cancelled
In addition, I wanted to make you aware that, due to concerns about the coronavirus outbreak, the Connecticut Foundation for Dental Outreach and the Connecticut State Dental Association have decided to cancel the Connecticut Mission of Mercy (CTMOM) Free Dental Clinic scheduled for this Friday. The clinic is a wonderful community event that brings together hundreds of dental and medical volunteers who provide cleanings, fluoride treatments, and many more services for free. I will update you should this event get rescheduled.
