Free Dental Clinic Coming To South Florida To Address Limited Access To Care The clinic will open its doors at 6 a.m. on both Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27, with services provided on a firstcome, first-served basis. Access to dental care is one of the most significant health challenges in the United States today. According to the American Dental Association, nearly one in four Americans struggles to access basic dental care due to various factors such as geographic barriers, financial constraints and lack of insurance. As a result, millions of Americans go without necessary dental services, leading to pain, infections and worsening health conditions. In Miami Gardens, Florida, this issue is particularly pressing for many residents,

To address this pressing need, Remote Area Medical (RAM), a leading nonprofit organization focused on providing free healthcare services to underserved communities, is bringing its renowned dental clinic to Miami Gardens. The event will take place on April 26th - April 27th, 2025, at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex, located at 3000 NW 199th Street, Miami Gardens, Florida 33056. This free clinic will provide essential dental services to residents of Miami Gardens and surrounding areas who may otherwise not have access to care.

Moreover, in areas like Miami Gardens, access to care is further hampered by transportation issues, economic challenges, and a lack of available providers. To help address these barriers, RAM’s free dental clinic in
