“He's got front teeth that he hasn't had in 30 years. So just grateful and we are grateful for them.”
Dr. Jordan Short said the team saw a big need, and that “a lot of them were in pain or had infections.” One veteran who got free dentures then donated money to help cover dentures for another veteran. Brady Dental said it plans to keep serving veterans in the years ahead.
