About 1,500 Santa Clara County residents are receiving free teeth cleanings, X-rays and oral surgeries this weekend.
Moana Tulua and her sister Angie sat together nervously in the waiting area of a pop-up dental clinic in downtown San Jose. So they did what any teenagers might do: pull out a phone and snap a quick video for social media.
The sisters were two of roughly 1,500 Santa Clara County residents expected to receive free teeth cleanings, X-rays and oral surgeries this weekend at an impromptu clinic inside a massive blue and white tent behind the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. “We’re eliminating infection. We’re relieving pain. We’re restoring confidence and self-esteem,” Robyn Alongi, the event coordinator of the clinic, said over the whirr of dentist drills and other tools humming throughout the tent hangar. “Oral health is super important to overall health, as well as mental well-being.”
