# Dental Memories – Helena Family Dentistry

[![CM_Welch_1](https://pages.ada.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Covid%20Monograph/CM_Welch_1.jpg?width=2028&name=CM_Welch_1.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1Z6d2vv-UU)

While our dental office was shut down during the initial quarantine period, we had some extra time on our hands and wanted to let our patients know that we missed them and were still available to see emergencies. We had fun making up a parody music video which gave Dr. Welch an excuse to work on his musical career on the side! Our patients loved it!
