El Paso Dentist Offering Free Care During Dental Health Month

  El Paso dentist Dr. Mehrnoosh Darj will be providing free emergency dental care to help the under-served in the community during February Dental Health month.

The Free Emergency Dental Care Clinics will be held in each of her 3 dental locations as follows:

Feb. 20th, 2015 from 8am-3pm at 10760 North Loop Dr Ste 3A, Socorro, TX 79927

Feb. 20th, 2015 from 8am-3pm at 211 Texas Ave, El Paso, TX 79901

March 14th, 2015 from 8am-3pm at 1861 Robert Wynn St Ste D, El Paso, TX 79936

Realizing that many people are struggling in the current economy, Affordable Dental Associates’ owner Dr. Darj wants to give residents an opportunity to take care of dental problems before they become more serious, and more costly.

Free dental services, including fillings, dental cleanings, extractions, toothache treatments, and more, will be provided to as many people as can be seen beginning at8am and ending at 3pm, on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Dr. Darj sees many patients a month. Yet, according to her, “We see an amazing number of people who come to us with large dental problems which could have been prevented if they would take simple steps of dental care regularly. This event serves to increase dental awareness in our community as well."

Dr. Darj considers the cost of the giveaway in staff time and supplies as a "give-back" to the community. "I have been practicing here for many years. This is my home and I like to see the residents here get the help they need." said Dr Darj.

 “I would like to ask everyone to help spread the word to anyone who needs help with his/her oral health and will benefit from the event.” Dr. Darj added.

In addition to the free dental days, Dr. Darj is organizing a special event for the young members of her community too. The Do A Good Deed contest is open to any youth 18 years-old or younger, with the purpose of encouraging the young generation to make correct moral choices in life. Dr. Darj is urging kids to submit an essay about a good deed they did and the winner will be awarded with an iPad.
