Hundreds flock to free dental clinic

Some people were in line two days ago. Others arrived early this morning. And by 9 a.m., hundreds of people were receiving free dental care at the third annual Wisconsin Dental Association’s Mission of Mercy clinic, held this year at the Greenheck Field House, 6400 Alderson St. Inside the Field House, drills and brushes hummed in what looked like a giant clinic. Rows of patients filled chairs, as dentists and other volunteers treated problems, took X-rays and provided cleanings. (WAUSAU DAILY HERALD, 6/27)
