Dentistry from the Heart (link: https://dentistryfromtheheart.org/) is a day set aside for the less fortunate to receive free dentistry, no questions asked. Freedom Day (link: https://www.freedomdayusa.org/) is specifically designed to serve our underserved Veterans who may not have access to regular dental care. Dr. Mark and his team have also been on mission trips to Costa Rica, providing free dental services to residents in dire need of care.
