WILSON MARTINO DENTAL ASSOCIATES & WV RADIO CORP.
OFFERS FREE DENTAL CARE at the WV HEALTHY KIDS DRIVE.

Wilson Martino Dental Associates, located at 19 East Main Street in Buckhannon is pleased to invite all Upshur County children and their parents to the WV Healthy Kids Drive FREE DENTAL DAY.

The event will take place at the dental office of Wilson Martino on Monday, October 9th from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. As part of the event, Wilson Martino Dental Associates will be providing FREE DENTAL CARE for all Upshur County children ages 12 and under. The FREE DENTAL CARE includes: routine hygiene exam and cleaning, x-rays, fluoride, and any dental work that can be done that day such as fillings, stainless steel crowns, resins, and more. To participate, parents or guardians are encouraged to reserve their child’s appointment by calling 304-471-SMILe (7645) or 472-4954. Space is limited, so call today. Some walk-in appointments may be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Informational booths on children’s health insurance and child development will be on display and families will have the opportunity to obtain information about and sign up for the West Virginia Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), a state funded program which provides dental and health insurance to families based on income levels. For more information on CHIP, visit their website at www.wvchip.org. Plus, kids can visit with Dudley the Dinosaur who will be handing out free balloons.


West Virginia has many programs available which help families obtain health benefits for their children, and yet so many of our kids are going without important exams and immunizations. It is Wilson Martino Dental’s goal to raise awareness of the programs available and help make sure every child in West Virginia is a HEALTHY CHILD! This event will help families explore the various programs offered by our state and obtain coverage for their children. Join us for the WV Healthy Kids Drive on Monday, October 9th and remember – a healthy child is a happy child!

The WV Healthy Kids drive is co-sponsored by THE BEAR, A WV Radio Corporation Station.
