About Laura Wales
I called on the teeth cleaning and the lady said it’s the wrong number!
Hmmm…weird. I switched it to an email address now. Try emailing.
Please, please call if you have not had your teeth cleaned in years. I am a dental hygienist and have been through this. It can be real hard to find a qualified patient for the dental hygiene board exam. Perhaps call the university clinic if you cannot get proper number or email.
School of Rock is full but they are taking names for wait list.
Thanks, Amber!
Just a friendly comment…. The School of Rock isn’t visiting MN, they actually have 3 or 4 campuses in the Twin Cities. My sis works there!
Emily – Good to know. Thanks!
Did anyone sign up for the teeth cleaning & was accepted? I sent the info to my Nephew as he needs Dental work & is laid off from his job.
