James Willis, DDS of Burke Dental Speaks Up for Public Safety

 

Fighting Illegal Dentistry Services in Fairfax County, Virginia

Burke Dental wants to share our excitement. Dr. James Willis was in the news yesterday (in a good way)! Recently, there has been exposed illegal, unlicensed dentistry taking place in Fairfax County, VA. These "underground" operations are taking place in places like people's basements. People who go to these places are putting themselves at serious risk. One such person contracted a life-threatening, blood-borne disease from one of these places.

As the president of the Northern Virginia Dental Society (NVDS) and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Virginia Dental Association (VDA), Dr. Willis wanted to get the word out to people in the area that they do not have to risk their health and safety to get dental care.

This video report was shown during the 10 oclock news on DCW50 News. Have a look at what we are doing in the name of public safety and oral health!
