Mansouri Family Dental Care & Associates in Marietta is offering free dental services on Nov. 14 as "a way to give back."

A spokesperson for the dental office said they are offering one free service for anyone who is at least 18 years old. Patients can choose between either one cleaning, one filling or one extraction.

There is no option to sign-up in advance. Services are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the office will start giving out numbers at 4:30 a.m. Saturday.

It will serve 300-350 people.

"In the past years, we've had excellent turn-outs," Melody Seif, the event coordinator, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We suggest people come early."

Mansouri Family Dental Care & Associates is a family-owned business run by a husband-and-wife team. The Marietta office opened in 2007.

Dr. Mansouri, a Cobb native, introduced this free dental day as way to give back to the community.

"A lot of people can't afford dental works," Seif said. "It's expensive. This is a way to give back to all the people in the area."

They also have offices in Atlanta and Lawrenceville, but these locations are not participating in the offer.
