Tennessee Academy of General Dentistry to host annual “Smile Line”

On Friday, August 7th at 11:00a.m. Dr. Ernest J. DeWald, DDS from the Clarksville Dental Center will appear on Talk of the Town on News Channel 5. He will be discussing the Tennessee Academy of General Dentistry’s Smile Line. The Smile Line will open on that day from 10am-4pm where a person can call 1-888-747-SMILE, and ask a dentist any dental question they would like. The Smile Line is a way of giving people a chance to ask questions that they are embarrassed to ask their own dentists. Once people’s questions are answered, they hope the person will feel more comfortable talking with their own dentist and scheduling an appointment.
