CTMOM - CT Foundation for Dental Outreach

Dental Clinic for Waterbury Residents

WCAAA is partnering with the Connecticut Foundation for Dental Outreach to assess the need for a free dental clinic for eligible seniors in Waterbury. This outreach is intended for Waterbury residents age 60+ who do not have dental insurance or are unable to afford care. Responses will help determine clinic size, services, and scheduling for a future Connecticut Mission of Mercy (CTMOM) Free Dental Clinic.
