At Elegant Edge Dentistry, we believe in the profound impact of community service. Our commitment to improving lives through dental care extends beyond our practice walls and into the heart of our community.
Recently, Dr. Mansour and Rebekah had the honor of participating in Mission of Mercy, a significant charity dental event hosted by the Michigan Dental Association (MDA) in Flint. This event was designed to provide free dental services to those in need within the Flint community.
A Day Devoted to Compassion and Care
The Mission of Mercy is more than just an event; it is a lifeline for many individuals who cannot afford essential dental care. By bringing together dental professionals and volunteers, this initiative aims to bridge the gap in dental health accessibility and ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, receives the care they deserve.
“It’s such a rewarding experience to help those in need! Last Friday, we participated with Mission of Mercy, hosted by the MDA, to provide free dental services to the Flint community and surrounding areas,” expressed Dr. Mansour. His words perfectly express the spirit of the event and the dedication of everyone involved.
The event was a bustling hub of activity, with dental professionals working alongside volunteers to address a wide range of dental needs. From basic cleanings and fillings to more complex procedures, the Mission of Mercy event was a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose.

Throughout the day, Dr. Mansour and Rebekah encountered individuals with various dental needs. Each patient’s story was unique, but the common thread was their gratitude and relief after receiving care. For many, this event was a rare opportunity to address dental issues that were causing pain and discomfort for years.
Rebekah shared her thoughts on the office Facebook page about the experience: “Seeing the immediate impact of our work and the gratitude in the eyes of the patients is indescribable. It reminds us why we chose this profession.” Her sentiment highlights the profound fulfillment of helping others and making a tangible difference in their lives.
The Broader Impact of Mission of Mercy
Events like Mission of Mercy underscore the critical need for accessible dental care. They expose the gaps in our healthcare system and emphasize the vital role community initiatives play in bridging these gaps. The event also showcased the incredible potential of collaborative efforts between dental professionals, organizations, and volunteers.
At Elegant Edge Dentistry, we are proud to be part of such initiatives. Our participation in Mission of Mercy aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance oral health and improve the quality of life for all individuals. We believe everyone deserves a healthy smile, and we are committed to doing our part to make that a reality.
Why Community Service Matters
Community service is at the heart of what we do at Elegant Edge Dentistry. Apart from providing dental care, we also establish relationships, foster trust, and give back to the community that supports us. Our participation in events like Mission of Mercy allows us to connect with individuals on a personal level by addressing their dental needs in a meaningful way.
The Role of Dental Health in Overall Well-Being
Dental health is a crucial component of overall well-being since poor oral health can lead to a range of issues, including chronic pain, difficulty eating, and a negative impact on self-esteem. By providing free dental services at Mission of Mercy, we aim to alleviate these issues and improve the quality of life for our patients.
Dr. Mansour emphasizes the importance of preventive care: “Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health. However, we understand that not everyone has access to these services. That’s why events like Mission of Mercy are so important since they provide critical care to those who need it most.”
