Pre-School Education
Dr. Bach enjoys visiting pre-schools during Dental Health Awareness month to provide toothbrushes, nutritional information, and oral health care instructions. These visits help small children to become accustomed to dental terms and dental health professionals.

PEDIATRIC FOCUS
Dr. Hally has always had a special interest in children. As a young adult she volunteered and worked at several different summer camps for kids ages three through eighteen. She has also participated in programs such as Hospital Helpers, World Vision, and Kinship.
