Spreading Free Smiles


Conroe Comprehensive Dental Center's 6th Annual Dentistry from the Heart event on Saturday, March 1, 2014, proved to be a success. More than $45,000 worth of free dental work was donated to more than 85 underprivileged residents of Montgomery County.


Line of patients at 6:45 am
Patients were seen on a first come, first serve basis. The line began forming at 11:30 pm on Friday. Procedures included cleanings, fillings and extractions. Their mission was to treat infections and get patients out of pain.


Volunteers included Dr. Jacob Burch, Dr. Logan Wood, Karen Saul, RDH, Peggy Breland, RDH, Tenille Fristche, RDH, Lauren McDaniel, RDH, Rachel Jameson, RDH, numerous volunteers and team members.


Donations were provided by McKenzie's Barbeque, Patterson Dental Supply and Ellisor Construction.


The event proved to be very rewarding for volunteers and patients alike. Staff and volunteers thank patients for their patient and understanding throughout the day.
