GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Great Lakes Dental Care is dentist office in Grand Rapids that takes not just oral health, but complete health very seriously.

As a part of the healthcare community in West Michigan, they feel they have a responsibility to bring awareness to things that can affect everyone's lives.

For the entire month of October, they focus on Breast Cancer Awareness, which is an issue that has touched many of the employees and their families.

As a practice, they are working to raise money that will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
