NorthShore Health Centers Give Kids a Smile 2025

On February 7, NorthShore Health Centers held its first Give Kids a Smile Day event of the year. Parents could bring their underinsured children aged 1 to 17 to one of NorthShore’s dental clinics in Hammond, Lake Station, Portage, Crown Point, Merrillville, or Chesterton for free X-rays, exams, cleanings, and fluoride treatments. Another Give Kids a Smile Day will be held later in the year to ensure that the children can have their teeth cleaned and checked every six months, the recommended frequency of dental appointments for youth.
