PORTLAND — Free dental care will be available Friday, Nov. 2, to adults who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford it, at various offices throughout Cumberland County, according to the Greater Portland Dental Society.

The annual event called Dentists Who Care for ME is in it’s fourth year. Appointments will not be accepted beforehand; participants are encouraged to arrive early because slots fill quickly.

The free care will include one treatment: a cleaning, filling, extraction or referral to a specialist, if necessary. In certain situations, people may be referred to one of more than 20 specialist dentists who will also provide free care.

In addition to dentists and dentist specialists, the day includes volunteer hygienists, office assistants and friends.

Coordinating the event are Dr. Demi Kouzounas and Dr. Barry Saltz.
