Dentistry From the Heart program gives Lehi locals a break
It's true that most people
are afraid of going to
the dentist, but last Saturday people lined up for several hours to
receive free
dental care from Stonehaven Dental in Lehi, Utah. More than 200 patients
received
a free cleaning, filling or extraction as part of Stonehaven's annual
Dentistry From the Heart program.
One man, who had recently lost his job
and dental insurance, slept out the night before to assure his wife a
spot, said dentist Dave Latham. In a day long dental marathon, the 11
dentists ended up giving away
about $45,000 of dental work, several dental hygiene students helped
with cleanings and dozens of volunteers gave food and prizes
The generous efforts of the clinic's owner, Dr. Bret Tobler are deeply appreciated
by the community.
