Free Senior Citizens Dental Screening

As we all mourned and felt the pain surrounding the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Dr. Nicholas Rallis and the Center for Smiles team was there extending help to first responders. Through their association with the NYC Fire Dept., the Center for Smiles was designated as a dental emergency treatment center for rescue personnel. For one month the center was able to help many of our 9-11 heroes at absolutely no cost to them.

This year, on the 11th anniversary, the dental center remembers Sept. 11 by honoring our senior citizens. Knowing that seniors are most likely to suffer from a variety of dental and oral health issues due to the process of natural aging, and the inability to receive proper dental evaluation and care due to financial restrictions and no dental insurance, Dr. Nicholas Rallis and The Center for Smiles team in Bayside are offering Free  Introductory Dental Services to any seniors (min. age 60- ID req.) on September 11th. 

The services  include:

Free Dental Screening

including exam and x-rays

The services are for new patients and for existing patients who recommend a new patient; and by appointment only. The Center for Smiles is located at 209-20 35th Ave., Bayside NY 11361,
