DENVER — While most Americans will be taking the day off on Labor Day, the doctors and staff from Risas Dental and Braces will donate their time at the fifth annual Labor of Love event.
Each year, Risas Dental and Braces has provided free dental services to those in need across metro Denver.
On Sept. 3, from 8 a.m. to noon, patients at each Denver-area location can select from one of four free services: Basic teeth cleaning, cavity filling, tooth extraction and complete exam with X-rays.
Labor of Love kicks off with music, fun activities for kids, and complimentary breakfast for people while waiting in line.
Patients in line before 8 a.m. will be guaranteed treatment. No appointments will be required or accepted.
In addition to offering free dental services, Risas staff will provide oral hygiene instruction and schedule follow-up services as needed.
“With nearly 60 percent of Americans concerned about the cost of going to the dentist, we want to dispel the myth that oral care isn’t affordable,” managing director Jeff Adams said.
Labor of Love Denver-area locations include:
- Wheat Ridge: 3815 N. Wadsworth Blvd
- Denver South: 2731 W. Evans Ave.
- Aurora South: 3575 S. Chambers Road
- Aurora North: 11479 E. Colfax Ave.
Since Risas’ first event in 2011 in Phoenix, the company has provided more than $3.5 million in free dental care.
