It's all smiles in
Waterbury thanks to the new Kool Smiles office, which opened at 728 Wolcott Street,
Waterbury, CT in the Fair Oaks Shopping Center.
Kool Smiles of Waterbury opened its doors on
January 22nd, 2010 in a mission to expand access to quality dental care to families in the community of
Waterbury. Senator J. Hartley and State Representative
Selim Noujaim joined the Kool Smiles staff and local families to celebrate the opening.
"I am excited about Kool Smiles' decision to locate their clinic for dental care in Waterbury" said Representative Jeff Berger. "The need for top notch dental care for a community in need is more than we can ask for. I applaud their spirit of commitment to healthy children, healthy families, and a better quality of life for residents of Waterbury and for that matter the Greater Waterbury Area. I also look for the continued partnership with social service agencies, schools, and community groups."
Kool Smiles provides a dental home for thousands of children across the country, in an effort to answer what the Surgeon General called one of the greatest unmet health needs in children: oral health. Dental caries (tooth decay) is the single most common childhood disease – 5 times more common than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever. With Kool Smiles, both children and parents are able to address these issues in a fun, accessible, family-friendly environment staffed with knowledgeable and compassionate dental experts.
"I am always pleased to see new enterprises coming to Waterbury" said Representative Selim Noujaim. "Small businesses are the backbone of our society and as they flourish and grow they add to the tax base of our city so that taxes on residents and homeowners are decreased proportionally."
