The Easter Seals Dental Center, sponsored by the Northeast
Delta Dental Foundation, opened it's doors on June 1, 2009,
at Easter Seals headquarters at 555 Auburn Street in
Manchester for local children and adults in need of dental
care.
A ribbon cutting ceremony on May 27 marked the opening of
the center which will be a dental home to those who lack
access to treatment with the goal of preventative and
continuity of care to improve health outcomes in general and
oral health outcomes in particular.
Earle W. Simpson DMD will head up the Easter Seals Dental
Center with a strong emphasis on thorough
exams—checking the overall health of teeth and gums,
performing oral cancer exams and taking x–rays when
necessary.
“I strongly believe preventative care and education
are the keys to optimal dental health,” says Dr.
Simpson. “Routine cleanings, flossing, sealants and
fluoride are all crucial in preventing dental disease and
maintaining the beauty of your smile and, more importantly,
your health.”
The dental suite will feature a two–chair clinic
offering routine cleanings, check–ups, x–rays,
restorative procedures, oral surgery, and after–hours
emergency care. Staff will include a full–time dentist,
part–time dentist as warranted, and a full–time
assistant. Staff will evaluate, monitor, and respond to
patients with a wide range of disabilities and special
medical needs.
“We've been a strong supporter of Easter Seals New
Hampshire for many years as a corporate funding partner, and
we are extremely pleased that the Northeast Delta Dental
Foundation awarded a grant to an initiative that directly
relates to our mission,” said President & CEO of
Northeast Delta Dental Tom Raffio, “Like us, Easter
Seals is driven by its values, and we especially appreciate
that it has an ongoing commitment to excellence, it is
customer–focused, and it is deeply committed to serving
those with no other resources.”
