(WEAU) Nearly 6,000 Wisconsin children in need will receive free dental care on Friday.

It's part of the Wisconsin Dental Association's, Give Kids A Smile program.

Dr. Heather Reyerson has volunteered her time since the beginning, and she has two young patients that have become dear to her as a result.

“Two brothers, one that didn’t need a lot of work, but the other brother did. The dental work needed to be done over a period of time. So I've seen both of them over the year. I'll be seeing them again as my kids for the Give a Smile program this year,” said Reyerson.

She goes out of her way to personally help low income kids get the help they need no matter how long it takes.

“I personally clean, fill, seal, extract, crown, and do whatever a kid needs. I do it all for them, even if it goes beyond that day," said Reyerson.

She screened kids in January to help determine who will be getting the care, and she hopes it makes a difference.

“It feels great to be there to help them out,” said Reyerson.

For Dr. Joe Weber, it’s an opportunity to take away pain.

“I don’t do very well seeing kids that are in pain. I really want to get them out of pain. I feel that the reason for the pain is the lack of information from the parents. So this is a perfect opportunity to teach," said Weber.

He wants to emphasize that kids should start going to the dentist early on.

“Kids should be coming in after age 1, and a lot of parents don’t know that. If they don’t bring them in until they are 5 or 6, it’s almost too late," said Weber.

According to DHS reports 25 % of children ages 3-4 have untreated tooth decay. But the good new is that childhood cavities are preventable.

“Cavities are 100 % preventable with care. Kids miss a lot of school because of dental disease, and pain in their mouths," said Reyerson.

The children are expected to receive a total of 945,000 dollars in donated care on friday and in the upcoming weeks.
