I haven't seen the dentist in over 7 years still have all my teeth. One of my teeth is discolored in the way of a dead tooth with slightly faded colors....

Seriously, it’s not just teeth. When you have issues with your teeth and gums, the bacteria that starts there can move into other systems and cause or contribute to more serious problems like heart and kidney disease.
If you don’t have insurance, the students enrolled in the dental hygiene program at MCC are usually looking for people they can do cleanings on. It’s all supervised, checked, and graded, so I imagine that the free cleanings they provide are as good as or better than the cleanings most people receive in their dental office. Last I knew, they were even required to have performed cleanings on so many people with problematic dental situations. So they welcome people who haven’t been to the dentist in a while.
