IDAHO FALLS - A nationwide dental program will put smiles on the faces of many Eastern Idaho residents - all for free.

Beginning at 7am Saturday, Park West Dental at Skyline and Grandview will offer free dental work to the first 100 customers.

Employees will offer one procedure- a cleaning, filling or extraction at no charge. The Dentistry From the Heart program is open to anyone.

"We expect a range of people. We expect low income, uninsured, people who struggle at this time. We're not qualifying anyone, so it's not limited," says Dr. James Drake.

Patients will be seen on a first come first serve basis, so get there early. All the dentist office asks for is a donation to the food bank.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
