Northeast Delta Dental supported the work of Dental Lifeline Network’s Donated Dental Services (DDS) program in Maine. The program helps disabled, elderly, and medically fragile individuals who cannot afford or otherwise access treatment for severe dental conditions. Northeast Delta Dental Foundation’s grant supported the work of a program coordinator who solicits dental volunteers, determines applicant eligibility, links patients with volunteer dentists and laboratories, and monitors patient progress. The coordinator supported 98 patients with $189,047 in donated dental treatment in 2021.
