Refugee Dental Clinic

As a dental hygienist, I have long hoped to have the opportunity to use my oral health skills to meet the needs of the refugee population that we serve. Then, last fall the opportunity arose.

Cherry Hills Dental Associates donated dental equipment including 2 hydraulic dental chairs, and many other pieces of equipment necessary to operate a dental clinic. After much planning, construction began the first week of September. It is so exciting to see the transformation of the space. The wood floors were put in last week, which were donated from Susan Schwab, and they look amazing (see photo below). We only have a few more weeks until the clinic will be a fully functional dental clinic.

Thank you to everyone who has been instrumental in making this happen. We are so excited to embark on this endeavor.

Blessings,
Carolyn Anello, RDH
