Free dental clinic makes her smile

I want to thank all the dentists and volunteers for their time and effort put in to the dental clinic recently held. Without this clinic, I could not have had the recommended dental work I needed.

I went there with an infected molar and two infected front teeth. A dentist quoted me $250 to pull the molar and up to $11,000 to do all the necessary work. Your dentist said the infected teeth had to be removed and that they would also make a partial to cover the gaps.

I was so happy with the results of those two days that would not have been possible without your clinic. Thank you so much for what the staff has accomplished, not just for me but for everyone involved. I could not believe how highly organized they were.
