Summary
After 47 years of service, two pioneering Black dentists—Dr. Charles Shelton and Dr. Willie Richardson—are retiring from their beloved Park Heights Avenue practice, leaving behind a legacy of care, community, and unwavering dedication. Graduating together from the University of Maryland in 1974, they built a welcoming, seven-day-a-week clinic that became a trusted anchor for generations. With fewer than 4% of dentists in America being Black, their departure stirs concern for future access to care in their community. Now 80, they’re looking forward to hobbies, rest, and the quiet joy of retirement—having shaped not just smiles, but lives.
