• A Phoenix dental group is going to perform free services to the needy across the Valley on Monday. Risas Dental and Braces will hosts its fifth annual Labor of Love at nine sites. Patients can choose one of four services: a basic teeth cleaning, cavity filling, tooth extraction or a complete exam with X-rays.
