Bolivia dental practice to provide free care during annual community event

BOLIVIA, NC (WWAY) — Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry will host its 12th annual “Dentistry from the Heart” event, providing free dental care to the community.

The event is scheduled for Friday, May 15 at the practice’s Bolivia office. Doctors and staff plan to provide free dental services to more than 200 patients on a first-come, first-served basis.

“We love this community,” said Dr. Aaron Wilharm. “When I walk across our parking lot on the morning of the event and see so many people ready to help others, it warms my heart.”

Dr. Harrington said the event has grown significantly over the years.

“We support the community in many ways throughout the year hosting events like Freedom Day and others, but Dentistry from the Heart is something very special,” Harrington said. “It has grown a lot in the past 11 years and the heart of this event is beating louder than ever.”

According to the practice, Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry has donated more than $500,000 in free dental care over the past 10 years to more than 2,500 Brunswick County residents through the annual event.

The event will run from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the office located at 3071 Southport-Supply Road in Bolivia.
