“Now more than ever, there are people in O’Fallon who need dental services but have no means to afford them – whether they’re out of a job, or just don’t have dental insurance,” said Dr. Fetsch. “This event is a great opportunity for us to share our time and resources with those less fortunate and give back to the community we serve.”

“Our team is committed to lifetime dental care because good oral health is integral to overall health,” said Dr. Fetsch. “By participating in this program, our goal is to engage patients and encourage them to adopt an ongoing oral care program and a lifelong regimen of preventative care.”
