When her retired father needed new dentures, Ypsilanti resident Charolette Buck didn’t know how she was going to help him pay for them. He had insurance through his former employer, but there was a gap in his dental coverage. Buck coordinates care for her father, and when she asked her own dentist how much the dentures would cost out of pocket, she says her first thought was, “I can’t afford this.”
“I kept asking around and researching every avenue, and finally someone referred me to the Washtenaw Dental Fund,” she says. “I’m really thankful for it.”
Thanks to the fund and the Washtenaw County-supported dental clinic inside the Trinity Health Haab Health building at 111 N. Huron St. in downtown Ypsilanti, Buck’s father got his dental care, including some tooth extractions and those sorely-needed new dentures.
