NORTH LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Dental care can cost people who don’t have insurance thousands of dollars a year. So, it’s always helpful when they’re able to receive dental treatment for free. On Labor Day, one local organization stepped up to give people new smiles for free.

Each year Risas Dental and Braces located in North Las Vegas puts on a ‘Labor of Love’ event where they offer free dental service. The Risas office is packed with people, and all of the chairs are filled as 100 kids, parents, and older adults get their teeth cleaned, x-rayed, and pulled. The dentist even fills cavities.

“The mouth is very much neglected in most people,” said Dr. Benjamin Menlove, Risas of Las Vegas. “Oral health, if it’s neglected, can affect your overall health in a big big way.”

Lounge chair, umbrella, and side table in tow, Dennis Hipsher was 11th in line at Risas Monday... Read More

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP Modified) — Hurricane Dorian unleashed massive flooding across the Bahamas on Monday, pummeling the islands with so much wind and water that authorities urged people to find flotation devices and grab hammers to break out of their attics if necessary. At least five deaths were blamed on the storm.

“We are in the midst of a historic tragedy,” Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said in announcing the fatalities. He called the devastation “unprecedented and extensive.”

The fearsome Category 4 storm slowed almost to a standstill as it shredded roofs, hurled cars and forced even rescue crews to take shelter until the onslaught passed.

Below is what Hurricane Dorian looks like from the International Space Station. Cameras captured these views on Monday at 11:27 a.m. ET... Read More
