Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation recently awarded a $1 million grant to Community Dental Care to support the creation of their second clinic in Rochester. The new Rochester clinic is estimated to increase access to dental care for 10,000-35,000 patient encounters annually. The clinic will also provide workforce opportunities to approximately 20 dental professionals, including dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists and dental assistants and 10 staff positions.

In addition to the clinic, the foundation has supported sever of Community Dental Care’s programs – including Minnesota Cavity Free Kids and the Program to Improve Community Oral Health.
