BMC is working together with the Virginia Dental Association Foundation to bring free dental care to all of our neighbors in SWVA (and beyond)! The Mission of Mercy event is coming to the Wytheville Meeting Center on June 26th and 27th. If you'd like to attend, it is recommended that you come to a pre-screening appointment. There are 2 more pre-screening dates: by appointment at Big Walker Dentistry (276-228-4711) on June 17 or walk in after 12:00 on June 25th at Wytheville Meeting Center. Services include cleanings, fillings, extractions, and even some root canals. Learn more about the event at https://www.vdaf.org/wytheville-mom-2026.html

Clinical days on June 26 and 27 are first come, first served. The screening appointment addresses your medical history and dental needs, so when you arrive in June you'll already have a plan (and a shorter wait time). Please bring a complete list of medications.

This event is for adults age 18+, with no limitations based on county of residence.

Happy June!

You simply MUST stop by Laurel Creek Pottery and take in our art collection in the Peck Gallery for the next month.
We’ve been asking our neighbors what makes them smile. We’ve all got endless reasons, but some of our neighbors struggle to smile because they’re experiencing dental pain or lack confidence in their appearance. We hope you’ll go to appreciate the beautiful art shared with us by our friends, and reflect on the importance of access to care in our community.
You’ll surely appreciate the gorgeous pottery pieces in the shop as well! Our favorites are the “ugly mugs” and anything with the Blue Ridge inspired colors!

We've had a lot of fun looking back on Dr. Filanova's time at Bland Ministry Center these past few weeks.

During his years in Southwest Virginia, Dr. Filanova cared for 2,886 patients and provided dental services valued at more than $1.4 million. But numbers only tell part of the story.

Many of you know him as the dentist who eased your fears, fixed your toothache, celebrated your progress, or made your child feel comfortable during their very first dental visit. He built lasting relationships with patients and community members, advocated for those who might otherwise go without care, and helped shape the future of our dental program in ways that will continue to benefit our neighbors for years to come.

Along the way, he helped modernize our systems, supported our school-based programs, and stuck with us long enough to see plans for our new 7-operatory dental facility start to become a reality.

The impact of Dr. Filanova's work can be measured in healthier smiles, but even more importantly, in the people whose lives he touched.

Virginia's oral health safety net will certainly miss you, Doc. Wishing you all the best in your (semi) retirement, and thanking you for the care, compassion, and dedication you've shared with our community.
