SMILE, IT'S FREE
Thanks to all the wonderful people who made "Dentistry from the Heart" possible on Oct. 11. "Smile, it's Free!" was written on both sides of the form that I filled out to receive this service. It was so heartfelt that I had tears in my eyes and a smile in my heart as I left with my cavity filled. Well over one hundred people were served that day.
Inspired by "Doctors without Borders", Dr. Paul Evans, along with five dentists, an oral surgeon, five hygienists and several assistants, offered a free trip to the dentist in Nevada County. This comes at a time when going to the dentist can be so financially overwhelming that it was an incredible relief to be given a break.
Many of those served that day were mothers and children. The kindness was contagious. The person in line before me had a friend who left and came back with a box of food and coffee for everyone in line. Later that day, someone else came by with pizza for everyone.
I hope that they will do "Dentistry from the Heart" again, and that others will follow their example. Thank you!
