For the third year, the gang at Wolfville Dentistry gang joined forces with other Annapolis Valley dental professionals for the annual "AVDS (Annapolis Valley Dental Society) Cares" Pro Bono dental event. This event provides much-needed dental care to people who would otherwise not be able to access the care they need. Participating clinics coordinate with their local organizations (food banks, shelters, churches, schools etc.) to identify patients in their communities who are in need of dental care.
With over 50 volunteers (dentists, hygienists, assistants, office staff, and technicians) in 5 locations in the Valley, we offered care to 90 patients. Patients received a free exam with x'rays in advance of the event to identify what they needed, and then were provided with an appointment to complete their care, and have a cleaning. Across the 5 locations there were 104 fillings, 39 extractions, 4 root canals, and 90 cleanings done; this represents over $40,000.00 of dental services! Thanks to all the volunteers, as well as Henry Schein for their support of this wonderful event!
