MARQUETTE, MI--   The Upper Peninsula Area Health Education Center is giving low-income residents in Marquette and Baraga counties the opportunity to get free dental care.   

Uninsured and underinsured adults from both counties can receive free cleanings, fillings, and extractions, and get information about community resources, prevention, and nutrition.

Adults qualify if they are at up to 250 percent of the federal poverty line.  For example, a family of four can have a household income of up to $60,625 per year. 

Marquette-Baraga Dental Day takes place April 23 at the West Ishpeming Dental Clinic. 

Registration will be held through Friday, March 25.  Call 227-1628 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to register.
