Thank you for joining us on Saturday, October 11, 2025 as we opened our doors to provide free dental care for our neighbors in need.

From our heart to yours

Every year, Turlock Dental Care pauses our normal schedule to give back to the community we love. The 9th Annual Care From The Heart event provided free cleanings, fillings, and extractions for those who may not otherwise have access to care.

Since the event began, our team of dentists, oral surgeons, volunteers, and community sponsors have served more than 850 guests—restoring not just smiles, but also confidence, health, and hope. This year, we expect our largest turnout yet.

Millions of Americans go without dental insurance, leaving serious health issues untreated. For many, dental pain becomes a part of daily life. Care From The Heart exists to bridge that gap.

“Now more than ever, we know people in our community need these services but may not have the means to afford them,” says Dr. Robert A. McCulla. “Whether they’re unemployed or simply don’t have insurance, everyone deserves to live without dental pain.”
