In this Dental Lifeline Network video, Dr. Brett Kessler reflects on dentistry’s ability to improve community health by relieving pain, eliminating infection, and helping people become healthier. He describes the unmet need among people who have fallen through gaps in care, including individuals with disabilities, veterans, and others awaiting life-changing or life-saving dental treatment. Recognizing that dentists have demanding schedules, he asks each clinician to consider caring for one patient. The video closes with an invitation to volunteer through WhyIDental.org and use the profession’s skills to make a direct difference in another person’s life.
