On Saturday, June 25, dentists and team members from nearly 400 Aspen Dental practices across the country will open their doors to provide a day of free dental care for thousands of veterans across the country. 

Local veterans can call 1-844-AspenHMM to schedule an appointment in advance at a participating office in the Mobile-Pensacola area. Appointments are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Of the more than 21 million veterans across the U.S. today, fewer than 10 million are enrolled for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health benefits, which for many does not include dental care benefits, and more than 1.2 million lack health insurance altogether.

The June 25 day of free service will be Aspen Dental’s second annual, and is expected to be the largest single-day oral health initiative targeted at veterans. It’s all a part of Aspen Dental’s Healthy Mouth Movement, a community-giving initiative launched in 2014 to deliver free dental care and oral health education to people in need.

Locally, veterans can scheduled a free dental appointment for Saturday, June 25 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Aspen Dental office at 2130 S. McKenzie St. in Foley.

The Healthy Mouth Movement is a community giving initiative launched by Aspen Dental and Oral Health America in 2014 to deliver free dental care and oral health education to people in need across the United States.

In the past two years, over 4,000 Aspen Dental team members volunteered their time and talents to deliver $3.8 million in free dental care to nearly 7,000 patients in need. This year, the Healthy Mouth Movement will continue to focus on serving our nation’s veterans. As part of this commitment, Aspen Dental is once again teaming up with Got Your 6 to help empower veterans nationwide. For more information, visit HealthyMouthMovement.com.
