Over a thousand dentists and other professionals are providing free dental care for up to three thousand children during the “Give Kids a Smile” event that runs through today. Doctor Linda Jackson at Rice Regional Dental Clinic in Willmar says the majority of problems are cavities, and they’re trying to catch them early. “A lot of the appointment is just to talk about good oral health habits, so that these problems don’t progress later in life,” she says.
