Reflecting on The Dr. Thomas Mitchell Day of Caring
About a year ago, our dental family lost an incredible dentist, friend, and servant—Dr. Mitchell. He was an exceptional dentist, but what made him truly special was the way he cared for people. He had a warm smile, a generous heart, and a servant’s spirit. He made people feel welcomed and valued, and he greeted his patients with his signature, “Hey Kid!”
This year, we wanted to honor his memory in a way that reflected who he was—by serving others.
We, along with Tooth31 Dental Care, hosted The Dr. Thomas Mitchell Day of Caring, providing free dental services to members of our community who might not otherwise have access to dental care. It was a meaningful day filled with dentistry, laughter, kindness, and lots of reminders of the impact one person can have.
We even got to wear the perfect shirts, generously donated by Ginger Mitchell, Dr. Mitchell’s wife, who also gave her time to volunteer that day. The shirts were orange—Dr. Mitchell’s favorite color—and featured “Hey Kid!” on the sleeve. Seeing those words throughout the day felt like having a little piece of him there with us. 🧡
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this day possible:
🧡 Ginger Mitchell — for donating the shirts and volunteering her time
🥪 Dr. Seth Phillips and Rachael — for generously donating lunch for our team
🧡 Pam Jenkins, our retired office manager — for coming back to volunteer her time and serve alongside us
📸 Dr. Jennifer Conner — for bringing snacks, volunteering her time, and capturing photos throughout the day
And a VERY special thank you to the many members of our incredible team, and the team at Tooth31 Dental Care, who gave of their time, talents, and hearts. Thank you for showing up, serving our community, caring for each person who walked through our doors, and honoring Dr. Mitchell in such a beautiful way. We are so grateful for the way you embraced this opportunity to serve and carry on his legacy. 🧡
We are also grateful for the people in our community who trusted us with their care. Being able to give back in Dr. Mitchell’s honor was a privilege and a beautiful reminder of the kind of legacy he left behind.
Dr. Mitchell spent his life caring for people, and we can think of no better way to remember him than by continuing that spirit of service.
“Hey Kid!” 🧡
We miss you, Dr. Mitchell. And we’ll keep carrying your legacy forward—one smile at a time.
