Las Cruces dentist Dr. Brian Gilbert pulls a tooth Friday for patient Samantha Hernandez at his Bright Star Dental office, 2010 E. Lohman. Hernandez drove from El Paso to take advantage of the free dental care Gilbert was offering to the almost 200 people who visited the office. "I'm excited that this is our fifth year and that we may meet our goal of reaching 1,000 patients served" in that time as his part in the nationwide Dentistry from the Heart program.
