Our 3rd annual “Dentistry From the Heart” event was another huge success. With a team of 6 dentists and 12 hygienists and 10 assistants, we were able to help over 80 patients smile again. Thanks to everyone for their help. This event is a highlight of the year for us, and we look forward to another year of service for our Orlando community. Video and photos from the event will be posted soon.
