  What to expect:  

  For dental: The client will be seen by a dentist for an appraisal.  Then an appointment will be made with a local volunteer dentist to do the actual dental work, in the Dentists' own office (which may or may not occur on the same day).  All dental work is free with no out-of-pocket expenses for the client.
