The dental offices of Dr. Anna Smith and Dr. Ty Parker offered cleanings, fillings, and extractions to adults age 18 and older who could not afford dental care. “In the past two years, Dentistry With A Heart has helped 230 individuals and volunteered about $50,000 worth of free dental work,” Dr. Smith said. The response from the community was strong, with the office’s quota being met at 9:30 a.m. “People come from all over the state,” said Larry Pruett, a member of the TLC team and organizer for the event. “There were people who showed up at midnight. The event is first come first serve, so they were the first to be helped. The patients were more than happy to wait for the dental work, but they also were eager to meet the doctors and 18 staff members who volunteered their services.

What Patients Are Saying...
“I love the feeling of my teeth being cleaned at Dentistry With TLC. I like coming here because the doctor always checks to see if I have cavities. I love to smile because I know Dentistry With TLC did a great job cleaning my teeth.”
