As you may remember from a previous blog post, Dr. Chedly Schatzie Vincent – owner of two Aspen Dental practices in Fairfield and Norwalk, Connecticut – led a team of dentists and hygienists from Aspen Dental practices to Haiti in 2012.

Dr. Vincent and the team provided free dental care to Haitians in the town of Jacmel for one week in November. Dr. Vincent’s personal reflections on the trip are featured in this month’s issue of Dentaltown.

In her article, “Giving Thanks … One Smile at a Time”, Dr. Vincent describes the experience and the impact she and her team made on the patients they treated, where according to one estimate there is only one dentist for every 100,000 people.

Dr. Vincent comments in her article, “This is why I am a dentist. Not only can we help people, we can change lives. On this trip, I felt our team was literally giving people back their smiles.”

Congratulations again to Dr. Vincent; Dr. Jennifer Check of Monroeville, Pennsylvania; Marilyn Bartley, RDH, of Norwalk, Connecticut; Marissa Leach, RDH of Manchester, New Hampshire; and Dr. Ekta Sagar of Hanover, Massachusetts, for making such a difference in the lives of so many!
