Good oral health is an essential part of overall health. Our mission is to provide access to affordable oral health care to those in need. The GNDC serves people of all ages, regardless of financial, linguistic, cultural or geographic barriers.
In order to best carry out our mission, we offer care to those who are eligible for benefits, as well as low-cost services to those without insurance or benefits. We are dedicated to offering significantly reduced fees to help make quality care more accessible to those who may not be able to afford dental care on a regular basis. Last year alone, the Greater Nashua Dental Connection proudly:
Held over 3,000 appointments;
Treated over 1,700 patients;
Performed over 650 unduplicated emergencies; and
Transported and treated (on average)15-25 students/per week.
Current economic conditions continue to challenge access to affordable health care for many families and individuals. Additionally, many patients travel to our dental clinic due to a lack of similar agencies throughout the state. We are committed to improving the dental health and lives of New Hampshire residents and aim to increase funding, partnerships and program reach. Most recently, we have expanded our clinic hours to help to meet community need.
Our vision for the Greater Nashua Dental Connection includes:
Increasing outreach to area businesses and employees;
Creating new partnerships with community agencies;
Increasing the number of students treated through our School Program; and
Raising community awareness of the importance of good oral health.
Our mission is possible because of generous community and corporate support, and the collaboration and dedication of our staff, board, volunteers and dental community. Please contact us if you would like to be part of our important mission.
