To help alleviate some financial pain for those who have fought for our country, Pearl Dentistry of Butler joined businesses nationwide in offering free dental care to veterans and active-duty military personnel on Friday, Oct. 11, as part of Freedom Day USA.
Pearl Dentistry offered appointments for free cleanings and fillings, and more comprehensive care was to be offered at a discount at a later date due to time restraints on the event.
