Stovall Family Dentistry will host "Dentistry From The Heart," a program to provide people with free dental care, on Friday, Sept. 19.

Dr. Orlando R. Stovall and Dr. Jonelle Stovall of Stovall Family Dentistry said they are out to change lives by offering free smiles to anyone who needs an extraction, filling or cleaning.

This is the first DFTH event for Stovall Family Dentistry, which has donated more than $100,000 in free dental care to more than 300 Goldsboro residents through other charities.

"Now more than ever, I know there's people out there that need our services, but have no means to afford them, whether they're out of a job, or just don't have dental insurance, this event is our way of giving back to the community, and being there for the people who are in need of dental work," said Dr. Orlando Stovall.

Stovall Family Dentistry is located at 1504 Wayne Memorial Drive. Registration for the "Dentistry From The Heart," will start at 7:30 a.m.

Members of the staff and volunteers will treat however many patients they can service by 5 pm. For more information, visit www.stovalldentist.com or the organization's national website at www.dentistryfromtheheart.org.

"Dentistry From The Heart" is a national non-profit organization founded in 2001 by a dentist in New Port Richey, Fla. It was created to help those in need, including the growing population of under-insured Americans. Without events like DFTH, dental care simply isn't an option for many. To date, DFTH has helped more than 5,000 patients and provided more than $1 million in dental care.
