Smiles From the HeartDental Excellence is the proud sponsor of the annual Smiles From The Heart event, committing a day of free dental care for up to 150 local residents each year.
Dr. Carpenter and our team of dentists, volunteers and sponsors have provided hundreds of patients with free extractions, fillings and cleanings - all for free! Each year we leave this day with full hearts, and our patients leave with better dental health! "This day is as rewarding for us as it is for our patients," says Dr. Carpenter. "Many people don't realize their oral health directly impacts many aspects of their overall health. If we can help prevent tooth decay, pain and even disease for people who otherwise may not have had their needs addressed...that amount of satisfaction is immeasurable." |

Veterans DayDental Excellence extends its gratitude to local veterans by providing free dental care! On November 10th, Dr. Carpenter and his team provided local veterans with their choice of a free cleaning, filling or extraction. It was an honor to serve some of our local heroes with free dentistry! We continue to thank our veterans for their sacrifices.

Operation Gratitude Halloween Candy BuybackWe collected over 400 pounds of candy for troops at our annual Halloween Candy Buyback event last year! Area children brought their Halloween candy to our office, where they traded it in for dollar bills. Many of the kids dressed in their costumes and made cards to send in care packages to our soldiers and veterans. The children enjoyed a fun night of spider launching, pumpkin volcanoes, face painting and more, while area schools competed to see which school's students could bring in the most candy.

National Children's Dental Health MonthOur dental hygienists visited area elementary schools to celebrate National Children's Dental Health Month by teaching kids about good dental hygiene. The Tooth Fairy sometimes even stops by for a surprise visit! Children were sent home with bags of goodies to take care of their smiles.

Mission Trip to the Dominican RepublicSeveral staff members volunteered their time to be part of our mission trip to the Dominican Republic. Our mission team provided free dental care to people in need at a non-profit dental clinic in El Buen Samaritano Hospital in La Romana, as well as took a mobile dental clinic (a bus with a dental room) out into the community. While some of the team worked in the dental clinic, the other half volunteered at a local school painting and doing construction work.
The mission trip was a fantastic experience, and we look forward to more missions in the future. We love being able to go out and make a difference! |

The Tooth Trot Color DashOur patients and Napoleon area community joined us to bring smiles to at-risk youth through The Tooth Trot Color Dash. With your help we were able to raise nearly $1,500 for abused and neglected children in our area! The proceeds from this celebration of health, happiness and COLOR benefited Henry County CASA, Center for Child and Family Advocacy, and Children's Lantern.
