Bright Now! Dental Donates Over $80,000 in Dental Care
Temecula, CA (PRWEB) February 14, 2018 -- With 50 volunteers from Bright Now! Dental locations across Southern California, our Temecula Day of Giving was able to provide care to 80 patients on February 11, 2018. Partnered with the Smiles for Everyone Foundation, this record-breaking Day of Giving rendered over $80,000 in donated dentistry.
Procedures ranged from simple cleanings to wisdom teeth extractions, and patients were grateful of the services they received. One gentleman who only had four teeth was so happy to get them cleaned. Others were grateful to finally be free of pain after getting their teeth extracted.
"No words to express my gratuity in helping with my pain and fear of the dentist," said Karina Buse. She was having severe molar pain but is uninsured and was unable to get the care she needed before this event.
Bianca Tektonopoulous said it was the "best care I've ever had. Dr. Fossman was so great."
Great care goes further than the dental work. Jaquelin Melendrez was grateful for the care she received from the volunteers, but she was most impressed by the enthusiasm and genuine love for the work they were doing. She says, "You guys seem like you really like what you do." She said everyone was very nice and made her feel comfortable despite not having been to the dentist in over two years.
The Bright Now! Dental team is looking forward to their next event on February 24, 2018 in Avondale, Arozona.
