Frances Obeng is a skilled General Dentistry provider at Noble Community Clinics, where she cares for kids, adults, and families, including both pediatric and geriatric patients. Holding a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, Frances has been aware of the disparity between healthcare needs and access to care, especially in underprivileged populations, from an early age. Now, she has the chance to help bridge that gap by working alongside the dedicated staff at Noble Clinics. She values the genuine care her team provides to both patients and fellow staff members, creating a supportive and compassionate environment.

A fun and personal note about Frances is that she pulled out her baby tooth with dental floss at the age of 7, earning a prediction from her dentist aunt that she would excel at extracting teeth. Today, Frances is doing exactly that, fulfilling her aunt’s prediction in her dental practice.

Egone non intellego, quid sit don Graece, Latine voluptas? Vitiosum est enim in dividendo partem in genere numerare. Ad eas enim res ab Epicuro praecepta dantur. Istam voluptatem, inquit, Epicurus ignorat? Cum autem negant ea quicquam ad beatam vitam pertinere, rursus naturam relinquunt. Bork Sed quid minus probandum quam esse aliquem beatum nec satis beatum?

Indicant pueri, in quibus ut in speculis natura cernitur. Non pugnem cum homine, cur tantum habeat in natura boni; Quicquid porro animo cernimus, id omne oritur a sensibus;

Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere. Non dolere, inquam, istud quam vim habeat postea videro; Satis est tibi in te, satis in legibus, satis in mediocribus amicitiis praesidii. Refert tamen, quo modo. Similiter sensus, cum accessit ad naturam, tuetur illam quidem, sed etiam se tuetur; An nisi populari fama?
