Filling a community need

More than 625 volunteers transformed the CCRI dental-hygiene clinic into a fully operational dental clinic, providing free dental services that included cleanings, X-rays, fillings, prosthetics and tooth extractions. Hosted by the Rhode Island Oral Health Foundation, the clinic was expected to treat about 1,000 patients. / COURTESY RHODE ISLAND ORAL HEALTH FOUNDATION
