For people who live on the streets or have marginal housing, minimal income, and no health insurance, dental care often becomes a low priority.
The result is poor oral hygiene, dental disease, and often, tooth decay and loss.
The "Smile Book" above shows the transformation that occurs when some of these homeless patients seek help at their clinic.
In effect, the patients "get their smile back".
In addition, they gain the confidence needed to apply for social services, interview for jobs, and start to rebuild their lives.
For homeless men and women, they provide Houstons only full service, no cost, dental clinic.
