| DENTAL CLINIC UPDATE
| | 06/01/2026 Dental Clinic Grand Opening
| | 06/01/2026 New Chairs inside the Dental Clinic
|
|
| | The SHARE Center Dental Clinic is working toward a careful, sustainable reopening. Since the last clinic date, Hafsa Arshad, our new Dental Clinic Manager, and Dr. Arwa have cleaned and organized the space, gathered additional instruments, and worked to secure remaining equipment and supplies, including support for the clinic’s autoclave.
| To keep the clinic open consistently, the team plans to begin with one Saturday clinic per month and gradually expand as staffing, supplies, and volunteer capacity grow. SHARE has not yet finalized a reopening date, but we look forward to welcoming patients back soon.

| | WHY DENTAL HYGIENE MATTERS
| Oral health is an essential part of overall health, yet cost, lack of insurance, transportation, and limited access to providers can prevent people from receiving routine dental care. Good dental hygiene can help prevent painful cavities, gum disease, tooth loss, and infections that may worsen without treatment.
| Even while waiting for dental appointments to resume, people can protect their oral health by:
| | • | Brushing teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
|
| | • | Flossing or cleaning between teeth once a day
|
| | • | Limiting frequent sugary drinks and snacks
|
| | • | Drinking water, especially after meals or sweetened beverages
|
| | • | Replacing a toothbrush about every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles are worn
|
| | • | Seeking prompt care for severe tooth pain, swelling, fever, injury, or signs of infection
|
| By reopening thoughtfully and sustainably, the SHARE Dental Clinic will be better positioned to provide the compassionate, dependable care our neighbors deserve.
