Last year, the line started around 6 on a freezing cold February morning. Advanced Dentistry's doors didnt open for two hours; people were that anxious to get in on the offer of free dental care. In one day the Main street Auburn practice saw 80 people and donated $22,000 in time and materials.

The Scene: "Busy, crazy and rewarding," said Lisa Minkowsky, patient care coordinator. For this, the fourth year of "Dentistry with a Heart" - named because it's close to Valantine's Day -Advanced Dentistry's Robert Limoges asked dentist friends to join he and Kevin Connelly with their practices.

They'll also give referrals, as needed, to volunteer oral surgeons. Doors open at 8am at both Auburn office, at 8:30 in Oxford Hills. Prospective patients will put their name on a sign up sheet as soon as they come in the door. Minkowsky said. "The thing that i think is most rewarding is to get a lot of these people out of pain. Staff at the practices are also donating their time. "Dr. Bernardy thought it was something we could do for the community. He's hoping it'll give us a good feeling inside," said Linda Hoffman, office manager at Riverview Dental Associates.

"There are so many people out there that have fallen on hard times, there's a divorce, there's a death in the family, and they need dental work and they just have no where to go," because they dont have the money, she said.

Whether it's giving a family discount or charging a little less when they know someone can't afford a procedure, "Most dentist in the state do a little bit of volunteer work on a daily basis," said Convey.

He lost dental coverage when he turned 18, joe's going on 24 next month. Hebert said she'd been warned ahead of time there'd be a long wait. That was OK. "I'll wait here as long as i have to" She said. "It's unbelievable. We're going to thank them a million times."

Dennis Chadwick of Lewiston, 47, stood in line a few people behind them. He had the hood on his olive green coat pulled tight around his face to keep warm. His las dental visit was a few years ago. "Isn't that a wonderful thing to have free next to anything today?" He said. "They do this every year and I've known about it. This was the first time i've been able to make it. I thought I'll take my chances."

As one person came out the door, three or four more struggled to get inside. By the end of the day, Advanced Dentistry had seen 71 patients and performed more than $21,500 in work.
