Duck River Dental Outreach

08/27/2026

Five years ago Duck River Dental Outreach opened its doors to patients. Since that time, we have served over 275 patients and provided nearly $300,000 in charitable and discounted dental services. We are grateful to those in our community who have supported our mission with their generous donations and volunteer hours. Below are pictures of some of those who passed our way.
