FRESNO, Calif., May 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bright
Now!® Dental partnered with the Smiles for Everyone Foundation to
open its Fresno office on West
Shaw Ave. to provide free dental services for underinsured,
low-income individuals on May 19.
This past Sunday, volunteers from Bright Now! Dental gave back
to California's Central Valley!
Four dentists, one hygienist, and their dedicated support staff
hosted the Fresno Day of Giving, where members of underserved
communities were able to benefit from nearly $50,000 of donated dentistry. Individuals were
referred to the event by local nonprofit organizations, such as
Poverello House Homeless Shelter, Angels of Grace Foster Agency,
and Life Cathedral Food Pantry. Services provided included
check-ups, cleanings, extractions, x-rays, and more.
The Fresno Team cared for nearly 60 underinsured patients that
showed much appreciation for their services. "I am very
overwhelmed," says patient Janice S. "I haven't seen my teeth look
so good since I was young. I can't keep from crying!" The Team was
also commended for their efficiency and respectable manner. "I am
very impressed by the professionalism and commitment to the
community of those with less," says Elizabeth S. "Giving back is a
true sign of a professional."
The Smiles for Everyone Foundation would like to thank all of
the volunteers, including Dr. Raymond
Chan, Dr. Erick Cuenca, Dr.
Leng Haong, Dr. Shamir Mavi, and RDH Mark Rodarte. It was their
dedication as a compassionate Team that allowed us to fulfill our
mission of delivering Smiles for Everyone in Fresno, CA!
The next Day of Giving that the Foundation is hosting will be at
Bright Now! Dental in Escondido,
CA on June 2nd. Please visit
