Financial Contributions and Continued Partnership
“The work DLN does is incredibly important as it reaches those that are in critical need of dental treatment but do not have access to it,” said Andrea Frohning, senior vice president and chief human resources officer at Dentsply Sirona. Dentsply Sirona has supported DLN and its network of volunteer dentists and laboratories since 1999, contributing to the cause of improving access to dental care for underserved populations.
In addition to its presence at DS World, Dentsply Sirona reaffirmed its commitment by donating $30,000 earlier this year, bringing its total donations to DLN to over $500,000. The company also contributes leadership, with Tiffany Readinger, director of preventive solutions at Dentsply Sirona, serving on DLN’s board. The donation will specifically help fund DLN’s Lifeline Heroes Challenge, which provides essential dental treatment for veterans.
Dental Lifeline Network’s Mission
Founded in 1974, DLN is a national charitable organization that offers free dental care to vulnerable individuals who cannot afford treatment. Dentsply Sirona’s long-standing support has helped DLN transform lives through medically necessary dental care provided by its network of volunteer dentists and laboratories across the U.S.
“We are delighted that Dentsply Sirona continues to support the important work of providing life-changing transformations to those in need,” said Lynda Ricketson, president and CEO of DLN. “Many adults in the US cannot afford dental care, especially our community’s most vulnerable residents, and are dependent on our network of volunteer dentists and laboratories to receive medically necessary dental care.”
