I bet the line is going to be long. But it is a very nice thing they are doing for people. If you do not have dental insurance, it is almost impossible to pay for the exam and cleaning much less if you need any thing done. When I did have insurance it was still pretty hard to afford the extra things that needed done.

Good Idea , poor implementation , why not allow these folks some dignity by setting up appointments instead of having them line up at dawn.
