The Challenge
Help Tom’s of Maine choose which projects they will fund. Vote for up to 5 projects EVERYDAY. With nearly 120 million Americans living without dental insurance, keeping everyone’s smile pearly white hasn’t always been realistic. Tom’s of Maine Dental Health For All™ supports those community organizations that provide dental care to people who would otherwise go without. Tom’s of Maine is proud to help fund community-based clinics that are working hard to fill the gaps in dental coverage and access.
The Project
Seattle-based Neighborcare Health is building a new, permanent dental clinic in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood, to preserve and expand services for thousands of low-income and uninsured residents. Serving nearly 4,300 patients annually, our clinic is the largest community health provider of primary dental care to Seattle’s low income and uninsured residents, regardless of ability to pay. A $20,000 grant from Tom’s of Maine will sponsor the cost of adding one dental chair to the new clinic, which will provide for over 1,400 additional dental visits each year. By the end of 2011, the entire clinic will be able to provide 17,000 visits for a total of 6,200 patients annually, a 43% increase over current capacity.
