The third annual DDS Give event this year was held Sept. 17. This charitable event is the result of area dentists uniting to give back to our communities by providing free dental care in their own facilities to our fellow friends, neighbors and their children who don’t have the means to pay for their own treatment.

No governmental nor private funds were used to offset the costs of equipment, supplies, time or materials. In fact, employees of those generous dentists also worked to help support the cause by working “off the clock.”

Services provided included cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride treatment, fillings, extractions and root canals.

The total value of services provided for free totaled $47,621.

The dentists who participated and their wonderful supporting staff members are listed below.  If you get a chance, please pat them on the back and say “Thanks for giving!”
