"A young lady came into the office with her mother in severe pain. Her lower anterior teeth were worn down. She couldn't smile or talk due to pain. I gave them options on what we could do to get her out of pain, but sadly they couldn't afford any of the options. I think the whole office felt her pain. The next day we called her in and fixed her teeth at no charge. She returned to our office the following day hidden by a gigantic vase of roses. She had hand picked each rose from her yard to thank us for what we did."
