More than 100 million Americans are without dental insurance. Whether individuals are unemployed, or their employer just doesn't provide dental insurance, this can make dental work more costly than many can afford.

Judy Berens describes herself as "falling through the cracks." She found herself without proper dental coverage or the money to pay for dental care, yet ineligible for government aid. All of this left her unable to take care of her cavity - until Dentistry From The Heart came to her rescue.

She received a free filling from a Dentistry From The Heart event in 2006, and has continued to attend her local event yearly. Most of all, Judy says she appreciated being treated "like a human being." For the many patients who benefit from the organization's events, Dentistry From The Heart does more than repair a smile - it inspires confidence.
