MACHIAS, Maine (WABI) New York University students are returning to Machias to offer free dental care for one week in April.

This is the 12th year the College of Dentistry students from NYU are visiting Washington County.

Dental students, residents, and faculty from NYU College of Dentistry will provide complete dental care to children (examinations, X-rays, fluoride, sealants, fillings, crowns, and extractions) and emergency care to adults (X-rays, sealants, fillings, extractions, and root canals) at no cost to patients. Patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis, and may walk in at any time throughout the week, although earlier is better.
