This February, Lincoln County Dental, Inc. (LCD) invites the community to “Have a Heart: Gift A Smile” by making a donation anytime throughout the month. Your contribution could help a friend or neighbor in so many ways: to become free of pain and infection; to be able to eat appropriate meals; to receive necessary medical treatment presently on hold due to the risk of infection; to get a job or return to work; to be more comfortable smiling with friends and family.

Lincoln County Dental, Inc. (LCD) began in 2011 as a clinic addressing primarily pain and infection, and has now expanded to care for greater numbers of patients who receive both emergency and maintenance care. With a caseload of more than 800 clients, the program is reaching people in all towns and villages throughout Lincoln County, who have great oral health needs, and no alternative to receive necessary oral health care.

Every dollar donated will be used to create a healthy mouth and smile for a resident of Lincoln County. To donate: Lincoln County Dental, 748 Main Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543. Visit their website for more information, www.lcdental.org.
