In 1979, Mark received a phone call from Monica Eggert, director of the Estuary Council of Seniors about providing dental services to seniors in Clinton, Old Saybrook, and Deep River. Monica said, “I don’t know if you understand this, son, but elderly people in America cannot get access to dental services because Medicare forgot to include it as a service. We hear great things about you now, so you need to come on down here and open up a new office in Old Saybrook.”
