    “I love this program.  Before this program I struggled with good dental care, it is expensive even with insurance.  This program has helped me and encouraged me to take better care of my dental health.  The worry about whether I will have the funds for the next visit is gone.  This affects my attitude and confidence.  At seventy-three years young my dental health is close to perfect.  Thank you.”

    “A great program! The staff at Lakeshore Family Dental care are always kind and friendly.  I never liked going to the dentist but this isn't bad at all. Thanks to VFD for all they do and thank you to the staff at Lakeshore Family Dental Care!  You're all great and I appreciate all you do for me!  God bless for this great program!”

    “VFD has helped me to eat food that I could not eat before by repairing teeth and providing routines to care for my teeth health and stop bleeding gums.  The teeth repair helps to maintain better health since I can now chew foods providing a healthier diet.”

  • Jeannine

    “Thanks to the VFD program I have the most perfect, beautiful smile!  I am now able to eat more satisfying and healthier foods like fresh apples, pears and veggies.  My digestive health has improved along with maintaining a better weight.  I am much happier to smile and laugh without covering my mouth with my hands.  My dental cleanings are so easy and always with a great report.  I have learned better dental care which is what contributed to those great reports!”

    “My health has greatly improved ince getting my teeth fixed.  I had no idea the effects of bad teeth contributed to the heart issues that were exasperated by the infection from my mouth.  Who knew?  My confidence level has gone way up thanks to my beautiful teeth.  I have the best dental care I have ever had because of this program.  Each doctor ad dental hygienist are so kind and thorough.  They are all the best!  My volunteer work is ever so valuable and is a way I can give back and feel good about "earning" the dental care.  It is a gift and I am so grateful.”
