Teeth
Hurt? Today's the day
By Will Collette
For Year
#4, Arrowhead Dental (on
South County Trail just north of the junction of Routes One and Two) will do an
entire
day of free dentistry to any person who shows up. The doctors and staff,
aided by volunteers, are prepared to treat as many as 120 patients on Saturday,
August 11, 2011 from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm.
Cathy and I have been going to Arrowhead since moving to Charlestown and think
they're great, especially our regular dentist, Dr. Nectara Stefano. Over the
years, I’ve had a number of dentists and been to a number of dental practices,
but Arrowhead is, far and away, the best.
Their facility is big, bright and airy, the staff are friendly and welcoming and Dr. Benoit and Dr. Gouin have created a practice that is an integral part of Charlestown community.

They
also have done beautiful work on their grounds. When floods created what I
like to call "Lake Arrowhead" in a low point on the property, they
put a lot of work into converting a semi-permanent wetland into a
water-focused natural garden. And almost every dentist’s chair in the
house faces a window with a bird feeder, well-attended by a nice array of our
local meadow and woodland birds.
The doctors will provide exams, fillings and simple extractions and the hygienists will provide cleanings, x-rays, and sealants. In past years, other volunteers came, such as oral surgeons, who provided most extensive treatment. Call 364.6300 for more information.

After Arrowhead piloted the
first free dentistry day, Rep. Donna Walsh secured a commendation for the
practice from the state legislature and presented it to co-owner Dr.
Christine Benoit.
This event is also part of a larger national effort within the Dentistry professional called Dentistry with a Heart. Their website claims that Dentistry with a Heart Days will take place in 48 states this year.
Cathy and I were loyal patients of Arrowhead before they started doing these events. But this really clinches it. In these hard economic times, it is truly wonderful to have such good neighbors in the crew at Arrowhead Dental.
