Murray offers free dentistry

FRANK LEWIS

PDT Staff Writer

Dr. Tracy Murray, whose dental practice is located at 1010 Gallia St. in Portsmouth, is gearing up for large crowds for his “Free Day Of Dentistry,” event, Saturday, July 28. This will be the fifth year for the event, featuring Murray’s team of dentists, sponsors, and volunteers, prepared to help many people by treating them with fillings, extractions and cleanings.

Free Day Of Dentistry is a local nonprofit event, Murray says has a simple mission — making people smile. Founded in 2007, Free Day Of Dentistry was created to aid those in need, including the growing population of under-insured Americans. Murray said, without events like Free Day Of Dentistry, dental care simply isn’t an option for many of the under-insured.

Matraca Montavon of the Murray Dentistry practice said to date, Murray and his team have provided over 500 community members with almost $200,000 worth of free dentistry.

“Now more than ever, I know there’s people out there that need my services, but have no means to afford them — whether they’re out of a job, or just don’t have dental insurance,” Murray said. “This Free Day Of Dentistry event is my way of giving back to the community, and being there for the people who are in need of dental work.”

Rhonda Murray, also of the Murray Dentistry practice said people can call 740-354-3368 to make an appointment.

I agree with you Laura, I usually end up standing because the kids are playing on the bench swings, and we usually have to leave so I can go to the bathroom

Not to sound like I am disagreeing with the swing for handicap children to play on but the statement about there being swings for the typically developed children to use is false. There are baby swings and the handicap swing and that is all. I have been to the park and had to run kids off the bench swings meant for adults to sit on so I could sit down. The kids who are 5 years old and up have nothing to swing on. What that park needs is more places for adults to sit, a swing set for the kids and a restroom with flushing toilets. Those port a potties are a disgusting joke.
