Sponsorship opportunities are available —a meaningful way to support this innovative effort and connect with a compassionate, community-minded audience.

Why It Matters:

  • Over 50% of individuals with autism experience severe dental anxiety.
  • Up to 30% of children with autism have untreated tooth decay.
  • Daily oral hygiene can be especially difficult, increasing the risk of gum disease.
  • Bruxism (teeth grinding) is more common and can lead to long-term dental issues.

With your support, this program will:

  • Gently introduce individuals to the sights, sounds, and routines of dental care.
  • Reduce fear and build familiarity in a safe, supportive setting.
  • Partner with UNE dental students to train future providers in inclusive care.

 

Event Details:
Friday, September 26, 2024
5:30 – 8:30 PM
Woodlands Country Club
39 Woods Road, Falmouth, ME

Together, we can make dental care more welcoming and accessible for everyone.
