Cobb County dentist gives out free dental care

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A Cobb County dentist performed his services for free in celebration of Free Dental day.

Dr. Michael Mansouri performed fillings, extraction and dental cleaning for community members – all free of charge Saturday. He said he performed the procedures because a growing number of Americans lack dental insurance, and he felt this was a great way to address many health problems and give back.

Mansouri said he hopes to inspire other private dental offices to do the same once a year and give back to their communities.
