Free Care Clinic
Keelan Dental is out to change lives by offering free smiles to anyone who needs dental work! Dr. Keelan, along with his team, sponsors, and volunteers have helped people in need of dental work – treating patients in need of fillings, extractions, and cleanings. Since 2014, Keelan Dental has seen over 675 patients and provided approximately $180,000 in FREE treatment at this annual event! We would like to thank all of our volunteers that help to make this event possible.
Although the event has not been able to take place since 2020 due to Covid-19, we hope to relaunch our Free Care Clinic in the future! In the meantime, our team has had the pleasure of participating in a Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic, as well as volunteering with Remote Area Medical Clinic.
“Now more than ever, I know there are people who are in need of dental services and have no means to afford them – whether they are out of a job, or just don’t have dental insurance. This Free Care Clinic event is my way of giving back to my community.” Dr. Paul Keelan
