If dental care has been something you’ve had to put off, this is something you’ll want to know about.

Eastern Dental in Grayson is giving back to the community with their 6th Annual Care Day, offering free dental care to those who need it. It’s happening Thursday, December 19th, starting at 8 a.m., at their Grayson office on Interstate Drive.

Patients can choose one free service — either a cleaning, a filling, or an extraction. No insurance is required, and care is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early is encouraged.

This is all part of Eastern Dental’s ongoing effort to support the community and help neighbors take care of their health during the holiday season — especially those who might otherwise go without.

Again, that’s Eastern Dental’s Care Day, December 19th at 8 a.m., located at 132 Interstate Drive in Grayson.

If you have questions or want more information, you can call 606-474-5193 — and please share this with anyone who could benefit.

As the holiday season moves into its final stretch, this is a great time to remember just how much our local businesses mean to our community.

When you choose to shop local for your Christmas gifts, you’re doing more than checking items off a list — you’re supporting neighbors, families, and small business owners who pour their time and heart into Grayson and the surrounding area all year long.

From locally owned shops and boutiques, to restaurants, service providers, and specialty stores, shopping close to home keeps dollars circulating right here — supporting jobs, community events, and the hometown character we all love.

Local businesses also offer something you won’t find anywhere else — friendly faces, personal service, and unique gifts that come with a story behind them. Whether you’re still searching for that perfect present or looking for a great place to grab a meal while you’re out shopping, you’ll find it right here at home.

So as youwrap up your Christmas shopping, consider keeping it local. Every purchase, big or small, helps strengthen our community — not just during the holidays, but all year long.

This season, shop local… and help make the holidays brighter for everyone.
