About Community Dental Lewiston

Our mission is to improve the lives of children and adults in our communities by providing needed, accessible, comprehensive, quality oral health care. At the height of the Spanish Flu in 1918, a group of volunteers occupied a small office in the Children s Hospital on High Street in Portland, Maine to provide dental care to children. When the hospital closed its doors and moved its patients to Maine General Hospital later to become Maine Medical Center the Children s Dental Clinic was forced to find a new home. In February of 1948, the clinic moved to India Street and began providing services at the City Dispensary On their 52nd anniversary, the Children s Dental Clinic became known as the Center for Community Dental Health and expanded their scope of service to include the whole family; children, parents, and grandparents.
