Welcome to Bright Smiles C.D.H. Media Archive
Our focus is on providing high quality care, and giving back to the community. When you patronize us, a portion of your spending gets reinvested in the community and with those in need.
Some of the following material pertains to Bright Smiles C.D.H. directly, and some of it follows Christine’s story as she moved from private practice into a non-profit role, before leaving The Alex inspired to form Bright Smiles and improve access to care in her home town.
