Can we talk about the lack of Dental care/assistance provided in Delaware? I truly want to know: 1. Why most dental offices don’t have enough dentist to take on new patients? 2. Why are the services covered so minimal? Preventive care issues can stem from childhood and ignorant parents and then as an adult you may suffer a need you cannot afford. Major services may be needed due to hereditary conditions that aren’t preventable. Where are the organizations receiving grant funding to provide care for low income adults with major needs?

Connections That Count: The Power of Sharing Your Story In a world buzzing with transactions, it’s the authentic relationships we nurture that truly enrich our lives. Today, I want to shine a spotlight on a remarkable local gem: the West Carleton Dental Group in Carp, a practice I've been visiting for an incredible 50 years. Yes, you read that right—50 years! Can you imagine? "Here, I’ve experienced more than just excellent dental care; I’ve built relationships, friendships, and trust." During my last visit, Dr. David Negin went above and beyond, reminding me that genuine connections matter far more than any appointment or procedure.

As we delve into the essence of community and communication, I invite you to reflect: Who are you grateful for today? Is there someone who has touched your life in a meaningful way? And remember, if you're seeking dental care in the Ottawa area, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to the West Carleton Dental Group. Let’s bring our visions to reality by celebrating the good in each other.
