UMA Dental Clinic In Bangor Is Offering Free Cleanings For Kids
When I was a kid, going to the dentist was always a chore. Like pulling teeth, as they say. Not literally in my case, but no fun for my mom nonetheless. I was one of those kids that tired to cram six months of brushing into the three hours before my dental appointment. My mom probably took a lot of flack from the dentist.
These days, I m much more adultlike in the care of my teeth. Of course, it helps to have solid dental insurance through work. So I don t really have to worry much about the how s and when s of my next appointment. But a lot of folks aren t as lucky as I am. they re either underinsured, or have no insurance at all. Especially kids.
