MISSION STATEMENT

Our Purpose

Our mission is to improve the lives of children and adults in our communities by providing needed, accessible, comprehensive, quality oral health care.

Our History

Servicing Smiles Since 1918

At the height of the Spanish Flu in 1918, a group of volunteers occupied a small office in the Children’s Hospital on High Street in Portland, Maine to provide dental care to children.

Red Cross Dental Clinic

By 1921, the American Red Cross had taken over day-to-day operations, and it became known as the Red Cross Dental Clinic, maintaining the creed of dental care for the public

Incorporation

Thirteen years later, on September 28th, the clinic was incorporated under the name of the Children’s Dental Clinic, still operating out of the Children’s Hospital

Maine Medical Center

When the hospital closed its doors and moved its patients to Maine General Hospital – later to become Maine Medical Center – the Children’s Dental Clinic was forced to find a new home. In February of 1948, the clinic moved to India Street and began providing services at the City Dispensary

Center for Community Dental Health

On their 52nd anniversary, the Children’s Dental Clinic became known as the Center for Community Dental Health and expanded their scope of service to include the whole family; children, parents, and grandparents.

Community Dental

The organization continued to expand, opening locations in other areas within southern Maine, reaching up to the Western Foothills and central Maine before changing their name to Community Dental in 2003

100 Years

More than 100 years since that small office on High street, Community Dental has become one of the most comprehensive non profit dental organization in the state. Community Dental is a four-center, state-of-the-art, oral health care organization. True to our mission, we have provided quality, comprehensive dental care to generations of smiling families.
