Free Dental Day is coming to Orangeburg from July 18-19, 2025.

If you're in need of dental care, Free Dental Day is coming to Orangeburg this weekend.

From July 18-19, The Palmetto Palace is providing free and essential dental care for low-income and uninsured adults.

The clinic is located at the Orangeburg City Gym at 410 Broughton Street. Doors open at 6 a.m. daily, and the clinic will operate from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

Treatments include X-rays, exams, cleanings, fillings, and extractions.

Children may also get free dental care on July 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. from the Colgate mobile dental van during the Orangeburg Day of Hope event.

That van will be located at the Orangeburg County Fairgrounds at 350 Magnolia Street.

All patients should park at the fairgrounds. From there, shuttles will drive to and from the gym. They begin operating at 6 a.m. each day.

The event is open to residents of all surrounding counties, not just Orangeburg.

This is Orangeburg's first Free Dental Day since 2017 and is in partnership with America's Dentists Care Foundation.
