Area dentists are volunteering their time Friday to provide teeth cleanings, fillings and extractions to people who cannot afford regular dental care and are not covered by any type of dental insurance.
The program, Dentists Who Care for ME, will offer one oral care service or a referral to other dental specialists. Appointments will not be taken; services will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Locally, dental services will be provided at Saco River Dentistry, 440 Narragansett Trail in Buxton, and Dunstan Dental Center, 618 Route 1 in Scarborough, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
