Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Dustin, the head dentist and founder of The Smile Mission. His passion for providing affordable, low-cost dental care to people worldwide is something I deeply relate to, having grown up with dental issues my family couldn’t afford to address. Dr. Dustin went through my list of concerns and provided a thoughtful solution for each one. His compassion and dedication to his patients are truly admirable. He was confident in his and his staff’s ability to fix my deep cavity without needing a root canal, which made me trust that if he ever says I do need one, it would only be because it’s absolutely necessary. I appreciated being able to make the decision to try and save the tooth without the root canal, and he clearly explained what signs to watch for in case it’s needed in the future.The staff I interacted with today were incredibly kind and supportive. They went above and beyond to accommodate my tired little girl, making us both feel comfortable with toys and lots of laughs. She left in a much better mood than she arrived, which really shows how caring and attentive this team is.The doctor who performed my filling was phenomenal. His confidence in saving my tooth put me at ease immediately, and the other doctors who assisted and finished the fillings did an excellent job making them feel strong and look beautiful. The teamwork and professionalism were outstanding, and it’s clear they truly care about the quality of their work.The Smile Mission feels like one big family, and I’m proud to be a part of it. They genuinely care for everyone who walks through their doors, and I’m incredibly grateful for their compassionate approach to dental care.
