ANNAPOLIS VALLEY DENTISTS WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE FREE CARE

10/29/2016

1 Comment

 
On a rainy Saturday, October 29, 2016, over 40 volunteers gathered to provide much-needed dental care to patients for whom the cost of treatment had created an insurmountable barrier.
 
The event was initiated by Sandy MacDonald who works in the Wolfville branch of Henry Schein (a dental supply company).  Sandy wanted to develop a project that could take advantage of the “Henry Schein Cares” Foundation, which encourages employees to give back to the communities which they serve.  Henry Schein provided equipment, dental supplies, and volunteers for the event.
 
By the end of the day 11 dentists, and over 30 support staff from many dental offices throughout the Valley  had provided almost $12,000.00 worth of free dental care!  We saw 18 patients in total, and provided 40 fillings, 42 extractions, and 2 root canals
 
Dr. Hennessy helped to organize the event, and was proud to be a part of something so positive.  She says:  “The dentistry that was done was certainly an incredible measure of the success of the day.  But I also feel that there was a real sense of “togetherness” that was achieved among colleagues from different practices, different professions, and different walks of life.  From patients to volunteers I think it is fair to say that everyone walked away feeling like they had been a part of something bigger than what we could ever have done as individuals.”
 
“Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community”  A.J. D’Angelo

There are many considerations when you’re looking for the right dentist, the compatibility, friendly staff, and even a friendly environment. As for me, the dentist I preferred is friendly because I believe that the friendly the dentist the more comfortable you are when you visit them.
