Northeast Delta Dental Foundation
About us
The mission of the Northeast Delta Dental Foundation is to improve access to and the quality of oral health care and education for the public and the dental communities in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. This mission aligns with Northeast Delta Dental's mission to increase access to oral health education and dental services.
Delta Dental Plans of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont jointly do business as Northeast Delta Dental. The Northeast Delta Dental Foundation is funded by each of these companies, as well as by many businesses and individuals who appreciate and support our oral health mission.
