Cherika Dumas, right, office manager at Compassionate Care Clinic, shows volunteer dentist, Dr. Lolade Samuel-Cash, the dental instruments bought with the $5,000 grant from Pee Dee Electric Company. The dental portion of the clinic opened Friday. The clinic is funded through donations and grants and gives medical attention and dental treatment — free of charge — to patients who are uninsured, Dumas said. Samuel-Cash, a dentist with Supreme Dental in Wadesboro, is the only volunteer dentist the clinic currently has. Linda McPhatter, office recruiter, said more than 200 Richmond County residents are on the clinic's dental waiting list. Dental volunteers are needed and anyone wishing to volunteer must fill out an application, and can do so at the clinic which is located at 1009 E. Washington St. in Rockingham. Anyone wishing to donate can call Dumas at 910-410-9349.
