UDPATE: Dental Care of Greencastle not hosting free dental day

Wednesday, September 19, 2018

Contrary to a news release sent out last week, Dental Care of Greencastle will not be hosting a day of free dental services on Saturday, Sept. 29.

The release, sent by Heartland Dental of Effingham, Ill., stated that Dr. John Wadas and his team would be helping improve the oral health of the community as part of Free Dentistry Day, a program dedicated to providing free dental care to the growing number of Americans without dental insurance.

The report was printed in the Tuesday, Sept. 18 edition of the Banner Graphic.

However, a representative of the Greencastle office contacted the newspaper Wednesday afternoon, saying they are not taking part in the event. She indicated that the original release did not come from the local office.

  • I realize the Dentist are professionals and they are busy but it would be nice if they could get together and do free dental care for the un-insured and homeless. There is such a need here in Putnam County.

  • Not the best PR move, Doc. You should bite the bullet, do the free day, then tell your home office not to include you anymore.

  • And at the same time ask your student loan provider to forgive part of your $300,000 student loan debt. Since you are expec_ted to give it away, surely they will too!
