Northeast Delta Dental has contributed $2.3 million in support of the University of New England (UNE) College of Dental Medicine.
The university plans to establish a college of dental medicine that will address both the issue of access to care and the need for more oral health professionals in the region. The college will emphasize community dentistry, dental public health and prevention, excellence in clinical dentistry, an integrated healthcare approach to dental education, and population-based health research, according to the university.
This is the largest contribution to date that UNE has received in support of the dental college and reflects Northeast Delta Dental's commitment to this important initiative, Delta said.
