West Palm Beach Community Dental Health Initiative: Our Commitment to Local Families
Originally published: September 2025 | Reviewed by Dr. Michael Berglass, DDS
Access to quality dental care shouldn’t depend on your income or insurance status. In West Palm Beach, many families struggle to afford even basic dental services.
Untreated dental problems can really impact overall health and well-being, and it’s a bigger issue than many realize.
Our West Palm Beach Community Dental Health Initiative bridges this gap by providing comprehensive dental services, education, and support directly to local families who need it most.
We believe every child deserves a healthy smile, and every parent should have access to preventive care that keeps their family’s oral health on track.
We team up with local schools, community events, and healthcare organizations to make dental care accessible right here in our neighborhood.
