Since 1984, Comfort Dental’s commitment to providing free comprehensive dental care continues to lead the charge in removing the obstacles that interfere with community access to such care, including those communities that have been displaced by conflict, violence and human rights violations worldwide. Last year, over 350 Comfort Dental dentists and 1,700 team members donated their time and expertise, serving as powerful allies in patient dental care for those in health crises.
“For more than 38 years, Comfort Dental has engaged in giving back to the community through Care Day. On this day, our doctors and staff provide free dental care to those in need. Providing free dental work to those in need aligns with our commitment to support the well-being of individuals who may not have access to regular dental care,” said Comfort Dental DMD, Matt Carlston. “We are proud to empower the community, serve those in need of dental care and assist in improving the health of individuals and new- comers, regardless of their background!”
In addition to the “free to all” nationwide tradition of care during Care Day, Comfort Dental-Denver has expanded their community reach by partnering with the local nonprofit Organization Papagyo in streamlining accessible care for those in vulnerable situations without distinction of origin, beliefs, ethnicities, culture, race, or gender.
The number of those displaced by instability in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, has risen exponentially in just two short years in the United States. Just last year the Denver-based organization, Organization Papagayo and neighboring community programs welcomed roughly 26,000 newcomers to the Denver-metro area. Newcomers to Colorado are more likely to have barriers to accessing dental care including linguistic and cultural challenges, unfamiliarity with health programs and the related application processes. The expansion of Comfort Dental’s local Colorado outreach is a small but mighty step in driving the future of dentistry to tackle the biggest challenges in health care throughout the nation.
“We provide free dental care to help people. If someone has a bad tooth, hopefully we can make them feel better,” Comfort Dental President and Founder, Dr. Rick Kushner said. “For some people, including kids, Care Day might be the only time they see a dentist all year. We’re dentists, so we give away dental services for the holidays.”
