Medicare-eligible folks age 55 or older can get a fresher smile Saturday.
Volunteer dentists, hygienists and assistants will be giving those folks one free dental cleaning or extraction at JenCare Senior Medical Center’s Decatur location, 2124 Candler Road.
Medical center spokeswoman Carmalitha Gumbs said the event will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the cleanings should take between 20 and 30 minutes.
