Dr. Alex has lectured on multiple topics, including the link between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, as well as bone grafting for dental implant treatment.

For this month’s community service, NEFDHA is excited to partner with Rethreaded to assist in combatting human trafficking. Rethreaded’s business model is based on upcycling materials into handmade goods. They take items that would have normally gone into a landfill and make them into beautiful products. Your purchase will provide freedom to women affected by the sex trade and are survivors of human trafficking.
