FLAGSTAFF, Arizona, June 19, 2026 — Woodlands Village Dentistry, a general dental practice serving Flagstaff families since 1992, is participating in the 2026 Dental Days initiative, a collaborative, volunteer-based effort to provide no-cost dental care to underserved and vulnerable adults in Coconino County. The practice will host a hygiene services event at its W University Ave location on April 18, 2026.

As an emergency dentist in Flagstaff, Woodlands Village Dentistry is also sharing practical guidance to help local residents recover from dental emergencies and avoid future ones.

Woodlands Village Dentistry to Host No-Cost Dental Cleanings on April 18

On April 18, 2026, Woodlands Village Dentistry will open its doors from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. to provide hygiene services, including dental cleanings, at no cost to qualifying adults. The event is part of the broader Dental Days program organized by Coconino County Health and Human Services.

A second Dental Days event focused on restorative services, including fillings and extractions, will take place on May 2, 2026, at Peak Family Dental Care, located at 750 N Kendrick St in Flagstaff.

Adults in Coconino County who are interested in attending either event should pre-register at least 10 days in advance to save their spot. To register or get more information, contact:

• Robin Berry at roberry@coconino.az.gov

• JoLena Straight at jolenarai@gmail.com

Volunteers are also needed for both events. Shifts run from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at each location.

Why Events Like Dental Days Matter in Coconino County

Dental emergencies are a significant public health issue across the United States. According to the CDC, over $45 billion in U.S. productivity is lost each year due to untreated dental disease. Events like Dental Days directly address the gap between dental need and access to care in communities like Flagstaff.

Research published through the National Institutes of Health found that approximately 10% of all dental encounters are the result of a dental emergency, and that patients who return for routine care after an emergency are much more likely to receive preventive services at their follow-up visits. That data points to a clear conclusion: access to routine dental care is one of the strongest tools for preventing future dental crises.

"So many dental emergencies are preventable with routine care," said Dr. Elliot Martich of Woodlands Village Dentistry. "Dental Days gives us a chance to reach people who may not have had that access and help them get ahead of bigger problems down the road."

Recovery Guidance from an Emergency Dentist in Flagstaff

For patients who have recently received emergency dental care in Flagstaff, Woodlands Village Dentistry advises the following steps to support recovery and prevent repeat emergencies:

Complete all prescribed medications. Stopping antibiotics early is one of the most common reasons dental infections return.

Schedule a follow-up appointment. Emergency dental care in Flagstaff addresses the immediate problem. A follow-up visit confirms the treatment worked and identifies any related issues.

Watch for warning signs. Worsening pain after 48 hours, spreading swelling, or fever are signals to contact a dentist right away.

Return to routine care. Patients who see their dentist twice a year are far less likely to face repeat dental emergencies.
