Volunteer Dentists Mark Stone, DMD, MScD, Paul Hubley, DMD, and Tim Hempton, DDS, with Massasoit Community College Dental Assistant Director and Students at the Free Dental Screening Clinic A free dental screening clinic for senior citizens will be held in Attleboro on Saturday, May 7 from 8:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Rev. Larsen Senior Center, 25 South Main Street in Attleboro. To schedule your free appointment at the screening, call the Attleboro Council on Aging at (774) 203-1906. Appointments are open to any older adult, age 60 or over, from any town. At the free screening clinic, participants will receive a dental screening exam and have the opportunity to discuss the findings with the dentist in the clinic’s relaxed, friendly setting. Dentists from our area, including Dr. Donald Pierce, have volunteered to examine patients for problems with their teeth, gums, and dentures. Participants will also be screened for oral cancers and have the opportunity to receive free denture cleaning and labeling provided by students from the Massasoit Community College’s Dental Assisting. Students will also offer tips and answer questions about good oral hygiene. All students are under the supervision of their instructor as they participate in the screening clinic. Nutritional information will be provided about food choices to those experiencing chewing problems, dry mouth, medication interactions, and other concerns. “More than three-quarters of older adults in Massachusetts don’t have dental insurance,” explains Dr. Donald Pierce, a North Attleboro dentist and planning committee co-chair. “Many of the seniors who attended the free screening clinic haven’t been to a dentist in a while, so they have concerns they want to discuss. At the screening clinic we take time to talk with them and answer their questions.” It is the mission of the Elder Dental Program to support oral health prevention and education for seniors.
