Local Dentist Spreads Free Smiles

Dr. Timothy Gardner’s 8^th Annual Dentistry from the Heart event held at Conroe Comprehensive Dental Center, Saturday, May 14, 2016 initially donated more than $35,000 worth of free dentistry  to more than 65 underprivileged residents of Montgomery County.

A mechanical malfunction in the office about 3 PM Saturday, caused dental services to come to a halt. Dr. Gardner addressed the crowd of approximately 20 residents and assured them that they would be seen within the next few weeks at either his Conroe or Montgomery locations. There is an estimated $10,000 of remaining dental work to be completed on patients. The first round of patients were contacted and began treatment in Montgomery Comprehensive Dental Center on Tuesday, May 17, 2016.

Procedures done free of charge included cleanings, fillings and extractions. Their mission was to treat infections and get patients out of pain.

Volunteers included Dr. Seth Harris, Dr. Jess Legg, Dr. Radley Robins, Morgan Harris, RDH, Rachel Jameson, RDH, Jennifer Nelson, RDH and Mirna , RDH, numerous volunteers and team members. Donations were provided by Papa John’s Pizza, Patterson Dental Supply and Ellisor Construction.

Dentistry from the Heart (DFTH) is a national non-profit organization with a simple mission: making people smile. DFTH was created to aid those in need, including the growing population of under-insured Americans.
