Dentist with a Heart

During the month of February, many Illinois dentists from the Fox Valley area are participating in

the Dentist with a Heart Program and will be opening their doors to offer free services. If interested or to get additional information, visit this link.

This is the website for the Aurora Children’s Dental Service who sponsors the event. Be mindful

that services vary by location and some locations do require an appointment.

Please dress your child appropriately to be outside when the weather permits. Snow and moderately cold

weather will not keep the children inside. All children will par cipate in outdoor ac vi es if the outside

temperature with wind chill is 0 ̊or above. Snow pants and boots are required for children to play in the

snow.

It is also important that your child has a pair of gym shoes at school. If for some reason your child forgets

their shows, as they are wearing their winter boots to school, we will make every a empt to have

something warm and dry here.

time. Both new and returning participants are welcome and will get to the next level under the guidance of an experienced
