LaPorte County veterans who need some help paying for dental care will be able to get some free assistance tomorrow. As part of Operation Stand Down, Dr. Daniel Fridh and other LaPorte County dentists are offering free dental screenings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. They will take place at the office of Dr. David Porter at 1112 Indiana Avenue in LaPorte.
According to the Healthcare Foundation of LaPorte, the screenings will include an exam and an x-ray. If treatment is deemed to be necessary, veterans will be referred to a LaPorte County dentist who will provide cleanings, fillings, dental implants or extractions at no cost.
