Nine students were identified as potential patients; two local dentists agreed to cooperate, Assistance League members provided funding and transportation for the children and the Dental Project was born.<\/p>\n<p>On September 18, 1952, Assistance League opened their first Dental Center located on the Balboa Peninsula. Made possible by a grant from the Irvine Foundation, this two-chair facility would see between 20 and 25 children per day that were referred by the surrounding schools.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the Dental Center moved twice and finally came to rest, in 1992, where it is today located in Assistance League of Newport-Mesa\u2019s building in Costa Mesa. The Dental Center was renamed after Cheri Harris in 2004 in memory of her commitment as a volunteer and as a generous donor.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Cheri Harris Dental Center is one of the major philanthropic programs of Assistance League of Newport-Mesa and provides much-needed dental care for low-income families in Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and neighboring communities. Accepting patients between the ages of 4 and 30, the care includes general and preventive dentistry, crowns, root canals, sealants as well as emergency services. The cost for a new patient\u2019s office visit is just $20 and includes a full set of x-rays and an office cleaning. Regular cleaning visits are just $10. Applications may be obtained from the school nurses for those enrolled in the NMUSD. All others may call or stop by the Dental Center office.<\/p>\n<p>The Dental Center is fully funded by Assistance League of Newport-Mesa from sales at its thrift and consignment shops, contributions, community grants, and annual fundraising events.
