CHARLESTON, S.C., July 9, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Thanks to Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery, one Bluffton resident has something new to smile about. To some, wisdom teeth are a non-factor; to others, they\u2019re a nuisance. But to 26-year old Alex Anderson, they were the source of severe pain and necessitated removal.<\/p>\n

\nAfter having been involved in a bad accident as a child, Anderson has struggled off and on with health issues, including impacted and infected wisdom teeth. Due to his traumatic injury and resulting pain, he was terrified of visiting the dentist until his problems became too big to ignore. It was learning of Anderson\u2019s unique story and condition from family dentist Dr. Justin Vanderpool of Hampton Lake Dental Care that prompted Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery to offer assistance \u2014 free of charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Alex\u2019s case, we saw a young man who had dealt with serious health issues and needed a hand up,\u201d said Aaron Sarathy, DMD, the physician in charge of Anderson\u2019s surgery. \u201cIt meant a great deal to be able to help someone struggling become pain free and to simultaneously eliminate the associated financial burden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wisdom teeth extraction is just one of the many specialties of Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery, which has six Lowcountry-area locations including Bluffton. Earlier this year, the practice did another pro bono surgery \u2014 this time for a young Charleston mom \u2014\u00a0who required the full-arch dental implant procedure.<\/p>\n

\u201cBluffton and the greater area have embraced us so wholeheartedly,\u201d said COAFS\u2019 Dr. Graham Lee. \u201cSo it\u2019s important to us to do pro bono work in order to give back to the community that\u2019s given so much to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, the practice was nominated for two awards: Charleston\u2019s Choice<\/a> and Best of Bluffton<\/a> for the Best Oral Surgeon category. To learn more about Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery, visit http:\/\/www.coafs.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
