Smiles From Santa

With the holidays here, people want to look their best. But for some, they may not have to money to do so.

Comfort Care Dental has teamed up with local businesses to hold its 11th annual Smiles From Santa program, in both Idaho Falls and Pocatello.

This year the clinic is estimating that it will give away $80,000 in free dental care in just one day.

Chris Hansen, a doctor of dental surgery at Comfort Care Dental said that this event is very special.

“A lot of times, people don’t have a lot of extra money this time of year, and it gives them the opportunity to do something extra for their own family,rather then worry about getting a tooth taken out that they were worried about getting done,” said Hansen.

The event will be held Saturday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and will be a first come first served basis.
