Free dental clinic attracts hundreds

First it was Woodstock (back in April) and now it's Cobb.

The same result: hundreds of folks lining up for free dental treatment.

According to Channel 2 Action News, the line formed at 4AM, even though the doors were scheduled to be opened at 6.

The loss of a job and lack of affordable dental insurance has seen a huge rise in folks 'going without' dental treatment.

The offer, organised as part of Dentistry From The Heart was for 100 free treatments. On the day, over 200 procedures were performed by fifteen dentists and more than 60 other volunteer professionals.

Dentistry From The Heart, a Florida-based organization, is quite a phenomenon all around the US.
