I joined a large group of volunteers who provided free dentistry to over 2,000 individuals in need this past weekend.  This was the Mission of Mercy in Middletown, CT.   Due to the present harsh economic realities, too many people are foregoing important dental care.  I really don't have any good answers for the current situation, so I did my best by donating my services to a wonderful cause.  I was overwhelmed by the intense gratitude of those I took care of.  Hopefully, in the future, there will be less need for such a program.......hopefully!
