On Saturday, May 12, 2018, the John M Scott Commission in cooperation with Drs. Doran, Capodice, Efaw & Ochletree will host a free Extraction Clinic from 7:00 until 11:00 a.m.

Adults who are residents of McLean County and are low income without health insurance are eligible. Extractions are limited to one to two teeth.
Those individuals who are staffing the Clinic are volunteering the time and services to address dental pain for individuals who lack access to care.
The Clinic is limited to 120 patients. All others will be referred to the McLean County Health Department's Adult Dental Clinic.

Many communities have clinics that charge little or nothing for dental care. They are usually run by nonprofits, community health centers, dental schools and local health departments, and they often rely on grants, donations and public funding. Some serve everyone on a sliding fee scale, while others focus on children, seniors or people without insurance. Every clinic sets its own rules, so call ahead and ask what you qualify for.
