Giving back to our communities is part of our mission here at Allen Family Dentistry. We have encouraged it since our start in 2005. However, this year we took it to the next level. We officially named our community outreach program “Smile Back”. This venture allows us to track our volunteer time for business promotions and dental mission work.
We have collectively accounted for 228 hours between our two locations and amazing staff. We hope this shows how much we care for people inside and outside our dental office. Oh, and if you can tell by some of these pictures, we have fun with it too. If you are involved in an event or organization who could use our help, please contact Brittany Allen at brittany@allenfamilydentists.com
