“When dental health is ignored or neglected a person’s overall health suffers” says Dr. Zachary Brian DMD, MCDC, Cedar Springs in a press statement. “With the pain comes societal costs. People tell us that their job opportunities have been limited and many times they have gone to emergency rooms when the pain has become too intense.

The health department says that the Kentwood location has had more than 32,000 visits and 15,000 patients since it opened in 2014.  Many of those patients told staff they came from the northern part of Kent County.  The Cedar Springs location should now be able to serve those patients.
