Free dental care offered to carnies at North Carolina State Fair
At the North Carolina State Fair a mobile dentist bus serves carnival workers with free care. Volunteers from the North Carolina Baptist Men treat about 40 carnies yearly, often extracting severely decayed teeth. The service operates beside midway rides, with two rooms and an X-ray lab, and many workers return for treatment after years without dental care.
