The 2026 Utah Senior Expos bring free health screenings to Sandy and Farmington this October. Dental On Location will offer free oral health screenings at its booth.

Doors open at 9 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. on both days at each venue. Admission is free.

The 2026 Utah Senior Expos will run in Sandy and Farmington this October. Visitors are encouraged to bring their insurance card.

Medicare information will be available. The program will also cover senior living. Caregiver resources are included, along with educational presentations. Visitors can take part in bingo and prize activities.

Screenings include blood pressure checks. Staff will also check blood sugar and spinal health. The program offers nervous system wellness screenings, along with cognition checks and oral health screenings. Attendees can review their vaccine history and get a flu shot. These are preliminary checks, not a substitute for a full medical visit.

Oral health care at the expo

Dana Wallace, founder and CEO of Dental On Location, says her mobile dental team serves residents at more than 150 assisted living communities across Utah. Visitors can stop by the company's booth for a free oral health screening. They can also learn about dental care options that do not require a trip to a dental office. The expo program details describe the screenings and other services planned for visitors.

The Salt Lake Expo runs October 22 and 23 at Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy. The Davis & Weber Expo follows October 29 and 30 at Western Sports Park in Farmington.

The Farmington Area Senior Expo is returning for its second year. It will have information booths and live music. Bingo and prizes are also planned.

Toni Troumbley of Seniors Blue Book Utah joined Fresh Living to discuss what visitors can expect. The full schedule and additional details are available at seniorexpo.org.
