Roane State Dental Clinic offering free cleanings for kids

Free dental cleanings for children ages 4 to 12 are being offered through the end of March at the Roane State Dental Hygiene Clinic.

The clinic is located on the first floor of the Coffey/McNally Building on Roane State’s Oak Ridge Campus, located at 701 Briarcliff Avenue.

The free procedures include teeth cleaning, all necessary dental X-rays, and a fluoride treatment. During the spring semester, the on-campus clinic is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. ET (brief closure 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. ET). Friday hours are 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET.

The free cleanings for children are only offered during the months of February and March 2025. Availability is limited due to demand, so parents and caregivers are encouraged to book quickly.
