ALTON — The deadline is approaching for Illinois veterans to register to receive free dental care next month.

The Illinois Dentists Salute Veterans initiative offers no-cost services for veterans registered by 8 p.m. on Nov. 1. The initiative is organized by the Illinois State Dental Society (ISDS), with support from Chicago Dental Society and member dentists across Illinois.

Veterans can register at https://www.illinoisdentistssalute.org/ for free dental services (with valid military I.D.), including cleanings, restorations, extractions, and more. Appointments are available in hundreds of dental offices across the state on Friday, Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 11.
