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.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
