Meharry College offers free dental care to community

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Meharry Oral Health Day 2025 means people in Davidson County can get free dental care!

It's first come, first served with doors opening at 6 a.m. Saturday morning at the Henry A. Moses Alumni Hall on Meharry's campus. It's right off of Jefferson and Dr. DB Todd Jr. BLVD.

No insurance or ID is required.

The school is offering free cleanings, fillings, and tooth extractions to the Nashville Community and beyond.

Meharry Oral Health Day clinics are usually twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, so people can get their bi-annual cleanings to maintain a healthy mouth, which in turn helps people's overall health.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
